Fearne Cotton and Michael Sheen having a dig at Seacrest

Is the actual awards on at all or is it just the walking down the carpet that we can get?

MementoMori

amy adams is a tool, although she nicely played one of the questions from Seacrest when he asked her what she thought of all the young girls who idolised her for one of her roles and she asked "Was it cruel intentions 2?"

SJP and Matthew Broderick looked like they were about to have a fight about who picked out his tux .

The frostiness continues with Fearne Cotton - Matthew does not look impressed - you could almost see him supressing a snigger when SJP said the night was not about her and when Fearne mentioned that Miley Cyrus was wearing a similar dress and looked very good, SJP's goes "well she's a young girl"

in fairness the dress thing is only for the red carpet bit

exiot

just watched a bit of it online, very boring. Going to check out some of the interviews and some acceptance speeches tomorrow depending who wins. Save myself from listening to "where did you get your dress?" a thousand times over

MementoMori

Jessica Biel on her mobile on the redcarpet - classy

Does anyone else think that Wall-E should have been nominated for Best Picture?

Biggins

I like the Sky 1 interviewer on the carpet. She is just not taking the whole thing too serious and she is dead right.

She's funny to boot!

You could make a case for much any film ahead of The Reader, but the best animated film award was brought in to keep animated films out of the best picture category

besty

I think I love Anne Hathaway

MementoMori

Brangelina clearly snubbed the entire red carpet - Brad gave a textbook brushoff to Seacrest

I know but the best animated film category is a bit pointless, three movies and it's pretty obvious which one is going to win. Throw Wall-E into the Best Picture category and things would get a bit more interesting.

The worst part of the Oscars for me is happening right now. Discussing dresses. Get on with the important matters at hand. Dishing out awards.
