Live Blogging the Oscars, 2010

Posted by Austin Cinephile

We’ll be here all night live blogging the worst night in cinema. Will Avatar win big? Perhaps Mo’Nique is going to win. We’re still hoping Nic Cage is going to pull a Kanye away from The Dude.

I'ma let you finish, but Nic Cage is the best actor of all time.

21.56

21.55

Best Director is Kathryn Bigelow, oh yeah! Deserved!

21.54

21.37

Did the announcer just say “Best Pitcher,” or is that just me.

21.35

Yeah, even though it’s kind of predictable, I just can’t be too put out that the Dude just won an Oscar.

21.32

Best actor goes to The Wrestler
