Iesus Non Amat Me

I really do like Jennifer Aniston's red dress.

Costume Design: Anna Karenina. And I'm back on form. Along with the Random Number Generator.

Makeup and Hairstyling: Les Miserables. I want this film to win everything cos I love hearing the music play. Also more points for me in the predictions game!

I'm going to slap you Seth MacFarlane.

And now we're celebrating 50 years of James Bond. I actually watched Skyfall for the first time yesterday. Shirley Bassey is singing Goldfinger and all I can hear in my head is Homer Simpson singing Max Power.

Jamie Foxx's bowtie is glittery. I love it.

Short Film: Curfew. A point for Paul.

Documentary Short: Innocente. Another point for Paul.

More Best Picture introductions. I've not seen any of these three.

Documentary Film: Searching for Sugar Man. You're really good at these categories, Paul!

Hey, Jennifer Garner's presenting an award. I still hate your dress, Jen.

Foreign Language Film: Amour. Not a huge surprise. Congratulations Random Number Generator.

And now John Travolta's here. Are we going to have another musical number? Yes. Yes we are. Actually no, it's not 'a' musical number. It's a celebration of musicals! Catherine Zeta-Jones doing All That Jazz from Chicago. Jennifer Hudson doing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls. Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, Aaron Tevit, Russel Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen doing a medley of songs from Les Miserables. This is so perfect I could cry.

Back in the studio Boyd says this is a really good evening if you like musicals. I love musicals. And they all agree that Anne Hathaway is going to walk away with the Oscar. "Let's all go watch Anne Hathaway win an award." Lol, best segue ever.

But first we have...

Sound Mixing: Les Miserables. Point to me.

Sound Editing: Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall. I don't think I've ever seen a tie before. And I'm amused that even with two winners, Paul and I still both didn't get any points. The Random Number Generator got one though.

Lol, Sound of Music reference. Brilliant.

Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway. She just hugged Hugh Jackman and he looks so happy for her I think my heart exploded!

Points all round there, except for the Random Number Generator who foolishly went for Sally Field in that category. Tut.

Yay, Hugh Jackman! You can't juggle Kristin, Hugh. Put her down.

Aw, DanRad you seem nervous. Poor baby.

Jennifer Aniston looking lovely in red. I spy Adele behind her.

I love the colour of your dress Jennifer Garner, but I do not love the style. It does not look good.

Halle Berry looks like she belongs in the 90s. That is a very stripy metallic dress there.

Adele is very sparkly. And I love how she's just loudly babbling away!

George Clooney is going to be drinking. I'm with you, George.

Speaking of which, this is the trouble with the Oscars. It's sponsored by Moet et Chandon so every time there's an advert break it makes me want champagne.

Finally a proper look at Amy Adams's dress. I really like it.

Anne Hathaway. Oh dear. I love you Anne and I want you to win but I hate that dress. It's terrible.

Jamie Foxx's daughter is gorgeous. And I love her dress. I want it.

Back in the studio they're talking about best dressed. Colin says Charlize Theron. I disagree. Antonia says Amanda Seyfried or Jennifer Garner. I vehemently disagree about Jennifer. Amanda looked pretty good though. And Boyd says Jennifer Lawrence or Adele. Hmm.

It's that time of year again. Time for dresses and champagne and films I haven't actually seen. Yes, it's Oscar Night!

Originally I hadn't been planning on staying up for it; now that I'm an old lady I need my sleep before work. But then on Friday I was asked to switch shifts tomorrow and now I don't have to be in until 12, so I figured this is a sign and I should take advantage of it.

Paul and I have made our predictions as usual. We also used a random number generator to make a third set and if it beats us I think we might die of shame.

It's that time of year again - Oscar time! Paul and I have made our predictions but we're not doing our usual thing of staying up and watching the ceremony together this year.

I'm hoping to watch some but I still have work tomorrow so I can't stay up too late. And the ceremony itself doesn't start until 1:30am so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to stay awake for. Hopefully I'll be able to see some of the red carpet though.

So be warned, I may or may not be spamming your friends pages with Oscar liveblogging tonight. We'll see.

Oh god, it's Celine Dion. Singing Smile, which I think has to be one of the most depressing songs ever written. Which is appropriate since it's for the In Memoriam segment.

Aw, Leslie Nielsen.

Anne Hathaway has changed again.

Best Director - The King's Speech. Interesting. Heh, man-love.

I really want to slap Robbie Collin. He's pissing me off so much.

Time for best actress. Is it just me or does Jennifer Lawrence look like Hayden Panettiere? Should I be worried that I keep thinking people look like other people tonight?

Best Actress - Natalie Portman. Total non-surprise there.

Sandy's here to present best actor. If Colin doesn't get this there's going to be an uprising.

Best Actor - Colin Firth. Hollywood is safe.

Anne Hathaway has changed again.

Time for the big one. I'm really not sure how this one will go. I predicted The King's Speech but I'm not confident.

Best Picture - The King's Speech. Yay.

Final Scores:

Caroline: 16
Paul: 8

Now, to work out what to spend my winnings on!

So that's it. Another ceremony over. I thought it was pretty good this year, especially Anne Hathaway. She was brilliant.

There seemed to be less focus on entertaining this time, it was more about giving out awards. That worked well, although I must admit to being slightly disappointed at not having as much to flail about/laugh at as I was writing these entries.

But now it's nearly 5am and I really should go to bed. I'll probably do my usual dresses round up post tomorrow later today, assuming I can find some dresses I actually like!

These people look very American. And I'm sure that joke made sense to Americans.

Anne Hathaway has changed again. Not too sure about this dress, I think it flares out in the wrong place.

Hugh Jackman! I love you Hugh Jackman! Sort out your hair, though.

Hey, Star Wars. And something. And... ET? And something else. If this is supposed to show how music and films are so linked that hearing the music makes you think of the film then I think I fail.

Original Score - The Social Network. I'm getting quite a good lead here, but I don't want to be too happy about it. There's still time for it all to turn around!

Sound Mixing - Inception.

Sound Editing - Inception.

Ok, I think I can be pleased now. Looking at the remaining categories and our predictions, I don't think it's possible for me to lose.

Current score:

Caroline: 8
Paul: 2

What's with the shoulder things, Cate Blanchett? How did I miss those before?

Makeup - The Wolfman.

Costume Design - Alice in Wonderland. Paul clawing his way back up with a point there!

No, Kevin Spacey, you are not Drunk George. And we are sad for that. I miss Drunk George.

Hey, Chuck! Chuck is at the Oscars! Are you there for a secret CIA mission? Is Anne Hathaway an evil double agent? Where's Sarah? I bet she'd look good in an Oscar dress.

Lol, Jake Gyllenhaal said that Shorts are the hardest to predict on home ballots. That's why we don't include them on ours!

And it's ceremony time! Yay!

So far so good, I'm liking the film-hopping opening. It's actually funny! And it has God Morgan Freeman in it! Awesome. I hope the rest of the ceremony continues this way!

Anne Hathaway has already changed dresses. I like this one, although I would prefer slightly fewer silver bits.

And her mother's in on the act too. Between this, people bringing their mothers and the mominees tweeting, it looks like mums are taking over the Academy!

Titanic was over a decade ago! I mean I knew that, but hearing Tom Hanks emphasis it so much makes me feel old.

First award of the night - Art Direction. Paul and I have different predictions for this so it'll be interesting to see who takes the early lead... And it's neither of us cos neither of us put Alice in Wonderland. Lol.

Cinematography. Inception. Still no points for either of us. Oh my god, we're rubbish at this.

I should probably also point out that now the ceremony's started Paul and I have cracked open the Cava, so my posts may start making less and less sense.

James Franco looks kinda like James Marsden, or is that just me?

Wow, Kirk Douglas. Tom Hanks doesn't look so old now!

Best Supporting Actress. I say Hailee, Paul says Helena. I just don't want it to be Melissa.

Dammit. Melissa Leo. Paul and I are still tied on nil/nil.

Oh finally, we actually get to go to the red carpet.

Yes, Lucy Cotter, I agree that it's more exciting there than in the studio. I'm going to assume your surprised tone was you being sarcastic and making a point about the amount of time we've wasted with the panel instead of being with you.

Oh, and now we're going back to talk more about the films. Great. Maybe I should take a nap before we get to the good bits.

But I do have to wonder why Robbie Collin couldn't get trousers that fit. Did he not realise he was going to be on TV this evening?

Hey, we're now with some American lady explaining the theatre to us. There are actually people around her. Yay for stuff happening!

Ooh, backstage. That's a fancy greenroom.

Hey, Mila Kunis! Looking pretty although I'm not sure about the dress. And Hailee Steinfeld. Her dress is gorgeous but she does look about eight. And Jesse Eisenberg. Men are boring, they all wear the same. Except Nick Park, but there's no Wallace and Gromit this year.

Amy Adams. Interesting dress. It looks rather... solid.

Jennifer Lawrence. In a red Baywatch-esque dress! Nice.

It's Russell Brand looking almost normal. That must have been difficult for him. And he brought his mum. Awww!

Melissa Leo is wearing a giant doily.

I do wonder if Lucy Cotter was in a bad position and Sky had to show an American thing instead because she wasn't getting any interviews or seeing anyone. It did look very quiet there when we cut to her earlier.

Here we go! Oscar time! Yay!

Paul and I are here again with our snacks and Mountain Dew and CyberCandy bet. This year we're also joined by McGee the cat, who I'm sure has predicted all the categories perfectly but he's not telling.

Our host is Alex Zane? Really? Huh, could be good. I wonder who he has with him. Hopefully they won't anger me this year.

Ok, apparently Alex Zane's panel is made up of Brix Smith-Start, Edith Bowman and Robbie Collin. I have no idea who Brix or Robbie even are. Also, Brix looks ridiculous in that outfit.

And our red carpet reporter is Lucy Cotter. What's with all these people I've never heard of?

Hopefully I'll have more to say once the celebrities start arriving...

Well, wasn't last night fun? I'm still alive although very tired and my head is killing me.

Comparing it to last year I'd say the night itself was a lot more fun because this time I had Paul and Zero and champagne, but the ceremony itself wasn't as good. As awesome as Neil Patrick Harris was, his song didn't come anywhere near the epic awesomeness of Hugh Jackman's opening number. And I thought Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin should have had more to do.

Anyway, on to the dresses:

( Ones I Liked )

( Ones I'm Not Sure About )

( Ones I Don't Like )

And as with last year I feel I must give a mention to a certain man who was there:

( Not A Dress )
