Currently watching, Kate Beckinsale is bangin. Also lame Tropic Thunder won, IMO Role Models and FSM were way funnier. Haven't seen Burn or Vicky Christina yet though.

[TJ Wells]

I have a feeling this night is going to be a harsh dose of reality for Dark Knight fanatics after the PCA's last night.

[TJ Wells]

Haha Rooney is the house band. Awesome.

[TJ Wells]

Its shaping up to be a big night for Slumdog.

[stop snitchin]

what station is the on btw?

[TJ Wells]

VH1.

I'm 80% sure Chris Mintz-Plasse is plastered.

[TJ Wells]

I'm really hoping for a repeat of this on Oscar night.

[Adeniz19]

Tropic Thunder winning over Burn After Reading, FSM, and Pineapple Express not even being nominated is just wrong.

[pshh]

VH1.

I'm 80% sure Chris Mintz-Plasse is plastered.

fucking crazy to know he went to a school 10 minutes from me.

[TJ Wells]

He called Darren Aronofsky "that guy." I don't know if I can forgive him for that.

[pshh]

He called Darren Aronofsky "that guy." I don't know if I can forgive him for that.

i might have just lost all respect for him now.

[bradyreier]

I haven't been watching, but I'm recording it so I'll check it out tomorrow.

[TJ Wells]

Anne Hathaway talking WAY too long, but very happy she won (even though she tied). That should bump her up in the Oscar standings a bit.

[clandestinerdc]

Ooooo Nolan did not look happy bout losing that one, I imagine he was counting on that.

[Adeniz19]

Ooooo Nolan did not look happy bout losing that one, I imagine he was counting on that.that's probably the most competitive category out of all of them. it could really go to any one of those directors and i wouldn't be too upset.

[TJ Wells]

Ooooo Nolan did not look happy bout losing that one, I imagine he was counting on that.
Highly doubt it. He's a distant third to Boyle and Fincher.

[Adeniz19]

big night for slumdog. i still REALLY need to see that

[Stephen Chamberlain]

Anne Hathaway talking WAY too long, but very happy she won (even though she tied). That should bump her up in the Oscar standings a bit.

When they showed Angelina Jolie, she looked visibly pissed at how effusive Hathaway was being. Some other random, semi-worth-noting notes:

1. Amanda Bynes is looking pretty hot these days.
2. They showed a shot of Emile Hirsch tossing back a Heineken.
3. Ben Stiller is so short and simian it's freaky.
4. I thought it was funny how when Josh Brolin was thanking everyone part of the ensemble cast for Milk, he almost forgot James Franco.
5. Being a big Seinfeld buff, I cracked up when Jason Alexander focused for a bit on Marisa Tomei, since she was part of one episode.

[TJ Wells]

Good winners.
