i'm up and running! let's see who strolls down the red carpet first - the first people to arrive i always label as the desperate for attention ones! first off i hate that brown thing that ryan seacrest has wrapped around the border of his jacket - he reminds me of a priest! and i'm not feeling giuliana rancic's tic-tac-toe board dress! at least it's not raining - yet - the sun was kind of breaking through the clouds but it's starting to look gray again - and it is chilly for sure! (seven minutes in and we already have a commercial break - ugh!)
» 3:11PM
thank goodness giuliana switched to a cute purple dress - much better (also check out her ring - it's huge!) here's kimora lee simmons who is on bling overload - with a million dollar hair piece - a first (oh she needs to calm down - a totally annoying person) another commercial...
» 3:19PM
i hope we have a celebrity soon - we're like 20 minutes in! (no angelina jolie today - she was showing off her new baby bump at the spirit awards yesterday!) first up is seal and heidi klum in red galliano dress - she's so damn pretty - she looks great - love the hair - and her hubby always looks dashing! people are screaming for george clooney - hollywood's classiest guy!
» 3:27PM
clooney is with his girlfriend sarah larson - one lucky lady! ryan is with amy ryan in calvin klein - she's up for best supporting actress in 'gone baby gone' - one of the films i didn't get to see (to be honest i didn't see everything - i know shame on me) i am really pulling for marion cotillard to win best actress for 'la vie en rose' which i loved - and predicted that she'd be up for an oscar when i saw the film back in june - ms. cotillard was EXCELLENT - i hope she wins!

oh no scattered showers are moving in - just by looking outside i can see it's going rain soon - don't forget i live right around the corner from the festivities!) wind seems to also be a big factor - ugh - i hate the weather! ryan is with tom wilkinson - another best supporting nominee for 'michael clayton' - oh my gosh he mentioned lisa kudrow - long live valerie cherish!

we've got george clooney looking handsome with his bowtie - his girlfriend is like silent - she's not all that cute - her dress is nice though! here's cutie jason bateman who starred in 'juno' - which i did really like - i don't see it winning best picture though - it sounds like 'no country for old men' has it in the bag! oh my word - i hope there's a movie of arrested development - what a great show!

laura linney (dress in michael kors) nominated for best actress in 'the savages' - she's with jennifer garner - both look fabulous (oh my gosh gary busey is out of control - he accosted both ryan and ms. garner who looked terrified - no sight of ben affleck yet...) seth rogen is with jonah hill - they look like twins! oh lordy - we've got miley cyrus who i found out sings this song see you again that i have been obsessed with - i almost passed out when i realized with was a tune by miley! now she's talking about starring in films - ugh - we don't need to see that! ryan is back with keri russell who is introducing a song tonight! check out marion cotillard looking like a fish - she's gorgeous but i'm not feeling her 'scaled' dress at all!
» 4:32PM
last year's best actress helen mirren looking classy - not crazy about the dress - it's a little overdone - next up is boring jessica alba (in marchesa) the best thing about her is her sexy fiancee cash warren - although they're due to get married - i can't see it lasting very long...sean combs is plugging his movie...and cameron diaz is wearing dior and needed to consult her handler rick yorn (brother of pete) about her jewelry - here's ms. cotillard - the fish dress is by jean paul gaultier - oh my gosh - tilda swinton looks like she just rolled out of bed

only a few more minutes left of red carpet arrivals - i need a snack break soon! colin farrell is with his mum - his eyebrows could use a little grooming but he's still really sexy - he'll be helping out to finish heath ledger's final film - next up is casey affleck - i think he's cuter than brother ben affleck - oh look calista flockheart is with her grandfather - oh i mean her boyfriend harrison ford - he's really gray right now! two time oscar winner hilary swank is dressed in a black versace dress - for sure the two main colors of the evening are black and red! i think viggo mortensen needs to shave - he looks really unkempt and old - he's up for best actor in 'eastern promises' - normally i find him to be quite sexy but not tonight!

(what's up with daniel day-lewis' wife - i hate her two red bows on her shoulder - along with that very large pendant type thing - yikes!)

it's time for the 80th annual academy awards - hosted by jon stewart - supposedly the opening bit of film is supposed to be incredible - let's see what goes down...that opening with a bunch of movie characters all around hollywood - was pretty cool - did you notice brad pitt and angelina jolie - people cheered! i knew that mr. stewart's opening monologue would start off with the three month long writers' strike - thank heavens that's all cleared up! (he did a decent job at opening the show) the first award of the evening is up with jennifer garner presenting best costume design...which goes to...

woo hoo - george clooney! he's doing a little bit about eighty years of oscars - and introduced a montage of awards from the past - oh no - they're going all sappy with celine dion's 'my heart will go on' next up (after jon is done plugging the iphone) is anne hathaway & steve carrell presenting the award for best animated feature (i hope the rat wins!)
