Hey folks, Harry here... Last year I took a break from doing my annual bit of rambling typing whilst watching the Oscar broadcast. I'm already watching this really terrible ABC program THE ROAD TO GOLD. It has nearly crushed my will with its lack of wit. To watch film being discussed with such lack of passion and knowledge... it drives me crazy. I mean, they described ZERO DARK THIRTY as being "a film about the greatest capture of all time!" I'm pretty sure "Capture" wasn't what happened. Technically, they did take the body with them, but do you capture a dead body? And if you made it dead, does that still constitute a "capture"? Anyway, the DISQUS talkback system has been having trouble quickly loading. I will be updating this article throughout the broadcast - or I'm going to try. We always get an enormous amount of traffic for this article, so let's hope everything goes smoothly.
We all have our favorites - and the anger over what isn't in competition tonight. I'll be back in an hour to start rambling with the Red Carpet. Till then, be well.
Had to come back to just say how annoying it is for E! to completely ignore the VFXprotest that is going on, while they're clamoring over jewels and fabrics and hair. The VFX protest is a very important issue, one that directly affects the kinds of robust visually dynamic films that we love. The folks rendering these visual miracles need to find some form of security, while they make the magic that so many profit from. If you'd like to lend your voice to this - check out #vfxprotest on Twitter throughout the night.
Ok - we're now watching the official Red Carpet broadcast. I have to say, it feels so wrong to not have Barbara Walters cry fest before this. There is a vacuum. Surprised that someone like Oprah hasn't stepped up to do something with this. Thus far, other than Jessica Chastain looking amazing. Now they have Channing Tatum and Jenna Tatum talking about the baby, but I saw earlier on E! that he's doing non-stop work. So if you love Channing, be ready for a ton of work from him.
