That's right, it's the 2011 Oscars! Will the early front-runner The Social Network connect with Academy voters, or will the late surge of The King's Speech prove to be more eloquent? Did Natalie Portman's crass comments at the Golden Globes give Annette Bening the opening she needed to strike gold? Does Anne Hathaway have a funny bone in her? Does James Franco have any bones left beyond the wrist?

Looking to take the trophy back from Mrs Dusty-in-law this year. I usually win the family Oscar pool but she wrested the title from me on a technicality last year. I've been bitter ever since.
Who wants to play?

Great minds, Dusty?
I like how you think, Orel.
Who watches this red carpet crap? Besides my wife?
My wife and sister in law. So, me too.
More than ever, the on air "reporters" are just talking to each other about wearing a lot of jewelry. Is this entertainment?
KTLA 5 studio correspondent is HIDEOUS! In what world did she think that outfit and look was working for her?
Even Karina would gag at this get-up.
want some pics!
I also watch the red carpet (look, a nice dress here and there!) but I'll be doing that after I end watching Up in the Air <3
I think you can watch here, Karina: http://www.ktla.com/
Melissa Leo's eyes look like they were filled in with Bondo.

@Dusty Baker saw the woman,she's not hideous but she doesn't look pretty.I wonder when women of the world will realize fake tans are awful and distasteful. Her fake tan clashes with the color of her dress and her classic red lipstick, IMHO.
@Czar you had me at Alan Smithee, hilarious!
I can't wait to see what bird Bjork wears this year.
@Czar I sense you have a passive-aggressive attitude towards Sex and the City
@Karina - I'm sorry, what were you saying? I was too busy thinking of Kim Cattrall.
Bjork got a raw deal. She wore one swan to the Oscars and got run out of Hollywood on a rail. Lady Gaga wears a fucking Denny's Grand Slam to every award show and is lauded as a genius.
@Josh S: what can we say, that's just Human Behavior.
Lady Gaga creates bizarre outfits to disguise the fact that she's relatively unattractive.
Business as usual
@karina
The dress was hideous. This is unquestionable. Added against her faux everything, the effect wa ls less than stunning.
You're allowed to hate. It can happen.
Holy shit, John Ely knows how to get between Glendale and LA fast.
"Ely" looks lime he's aged 10 yrs - stay out of the sun, bro.
I wish I could get the red carpet treatment when I go to places.
"Who are you wearing?"
"Adidas and Levi's."
Are you trying to give me a stroke, MLASC? #apostrophe
Take it up with corporate, Dusty. They make the apostrophe part of the logo.
And I know that's how the company spells it, but they're wrong.
Hell, I can get from Glendale to LA pretty fast. I do it every morning.
DAMMIT!
Thanks for sharing those two separate, distinct facts, Josh.
Mila Kunis's boob tattoos.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING, Josh. I even noted it to Mrs Dusty, who can vouch.
@Czar awwwwwww, a Kim Cattrall fixation?
hahahaha, Adidas and Levis' (to please Dusty), my response would be Zara and Forever 21...
@Dusty Baker she's not hideous,just not pretty...in the other hand,you know who looks hideous?Giuliana from E! can anyone give that woman a couple of extra large hamburguers, with fries, soda, milkshake AND ice cream?
girl, you won't ever look pretty if you don't put some meat on...
one question: do men actually think a woman that skinny is attractive?
@karina "do men actually think a woman that skinny is attractive?"
No.
Just tuned in and I'm already tired of this Franco mutt
I like burgers and fries
@karina
The vote is still unanimous. That woman needs a sammitch.
I haven't had In-N-Out in a while.
On a tee, people.
I could go for a burger right now.
Sure, when Roberto Benigni walks on seats, he's lauded for being a great moment. But when I do it, I'm labeled a flight risk.
@Czar I think you're allowed to do that only if you just won the Academy Award.
Thanks for validating my opinion of too skinny women.
@Dusty Baker you're right about fake tans, sporting one's color is elegant! what's wrong with pale anyway?
Conan did this better.
Monologue (dialogue?) is death so far.
RT @sportsguys33 BREAKING: Buster Olney reports that Billy Crystal is warming up in the Oscars bullpen
spilled my drink!
no complaints about the first technical-category winners
So if I can talk in a thick Boston accent, I can be nominated for an Oscar?
Why couldn't Kirk Douglas host?
can we have more Kirk Douglas, Academy, PLEASE?
I almost threw my plate at J.T and tat-tit.Retards.
Damn you Blogger!
Horrible tux, Javier. I want ton hand my empty drink glass to you. Don't wear white tuxes.
WTF did Kirk Douglas say?
I caught the reaction.
Mila Kunis: Better as the voice of Meg Griffin. Tittat or no.
Assisted suicide for Kirk Douglas please.
@DB: Sorta like drinking gin and tonic in the winter.
BTW: How to Drain Your Dragon was an awesome movie.
Drink Status: Pinot
Drunk status: Close.
I'm not a member of the Anne Hathaway Marching and Chowder Society.
killKillKILL
Hiyoooooooo
Note to award accepters: watch British folks and learn how to make a classy, humble acceptance speech. Looking at you Melissa Leo.
How come the foreign films look better than ours?
#GODANES!
@Dusty Baker when you already won an oscar and you father Penelope Cruz babies, there isn't much to judge you. Just sayin'
Dint get me wrong, Karina, I love Bardem as an actor. It's just that a grown man who is not a waiter shouldn't be wearing a white tux like that.
About fucking time.
Damn. Have to go see that King's Peach movie. Seems well written.
and Christian Bale is a nutty mofo.
Bale: Shut the fuck up already.
Sheesh.
@Dusty Baker I'm not very much into white tuxedos either...they are First Holy Communion wardrobe!
Wait. Who's this guy? A Dodger fan?
so he's a Dodgers fan and he knows a thing or two about loyalty <3
It's pat ourselves on the back time
That makes me even less into them now that I know they have some sort of dogmatic ritual purpose.
but you also know about heartbreaking and a couple of capital sins like anger and jealousy :(
Hugh Jackman is Australian?
Fuck yeah, represent Dodgers bro!
Is hateHateHATE a sin? Please tell me no.
What fool made up these rules?
I'm just the guy getting in the way of the DB/karina tete au tete.
Or however they say it in Norwegian.
Come on, Dragon, win something for Mrs Dusty!
Thank the loahd that I won't have to hear those annoying Inception commercials after tonight.
Which one's Reznor?
Franco annoys.
Franco=plywood.
ScarJo looks like she got rocked backstage.
Chocolate covered pretzels rule the school, fool.
Just sayin'.
@Spank.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Reznor = sell out
They're bringing back Crossing Jordan,and they're calling it Body of Proof.
ScarJo looked like she just sold a foot of her hair for some meth in the alley out back.
Dudes, and lady, I bought a bottle of Crane Lake pinotfor less than $4, and it rocks.
My kids are all up on Alice in Wonderland winning something.
C'mon, drop that statue. Or the card.
That gasbaggery Alice is going to cause me to lose the Oscar pool this year. That movie licked giant stinky rim.
I Love LA. C'mon Randy. . .say it!
DB gets a +2 for that last comment.
Who was passing out the bronzer this year?
I'm rooting for Randy bc of I Love LA, RBN.
And bc I need this category to catch up with the missus.
Who let the peacock in?
Shit, I almost had 2 100's in one day.
Twitter is all f'd up right now.
This Franco kid is flatter than a second grade girl.
I want to give my oscar to Amy Adams.
Hey, I'm back. Just got back from rockin' ScarJo backstage.
Did you sell her some Meth, Orel?
I'm getting high just watching this guy talk
MSTI had a good tweet about the Dodger fan guy.
AUTOTUNE IS THE SCOURGE OF THE UNIVERSE
I hate it like I hate Simers.
Oh, shoot me now. Hide your children, hide your wives.
Cause they snatchin up yo people up in here.
Originally the Academy would not let Oprah present an award, so she bought the Academy instead.
Jesus fucking christ who let Oprah on here. killKillKILL me now!!!
Waaaaaayyy behind on this bish. Gonna go order some Thai food and play catch up on the DVR.
Oprah looks boobalicious tonight.
I want to take a trail hike through Oprah's breast.
Be careful in Tiramisu pass, Spank.
Spank with a +2.
Scarlett's a good girl, she is!
I sincerely hope Billy's here to take over as host.
My god. They've raised Johnny Carson from the dead. . .oh wait, Billy Crystal.
Nevermind.
Bring back Oprah!
The corpse of Johnny Carson would make a great host.
The corpse of Aubrey Huff would make a great host.
Bob Hope was funnyyyy.
Jude Law? Totally forgot he existed.
I already got plenty of Winter's Bone jokes from that sketch of Wayne's World.
I want to keep Billy Crystal...and thanks the God,Blogger is working again,people hate me on Twitter because I think Inception is a VERY GOOD movie but not a masterpiece :(
*changes channel*
As singers go, Gwenneth Paltrow is a great actress.
C'mon Randy!!!!!!
Congrats Randy!
Barney Frank
They should play I Love LA for Randy Newman!
*returns to pithy remarks*
I'd rather be watching Modern Family right now.
RIP Dead Guys and Gals.
RIP Halle Berry's career
Ah, this whole production can go to hell.
Long live halle Berry's assets.
Time for the best bi-polar guy award.
. . .and Halle Berry's front-sets.
Aww..Que cute
The good, the bad, and Eli Fucking Wallach!
TUCO YOU MAGNIFICENT SONOFABITCH
Just remember, from The Good. . etc:
"Known as The Rat."
Fire in the fireplace, drinking the pinot, and kids making their own lunch.
Life is damn good.
I hope he entered the Kodak through a window.
Ryan Gosling should have won best actress
GEEKGASM!!
Portman is acting better here than she did in Star Wars
I have a fire in the fireplace, too. Claret poured ready to toast KING'S SPEECH.
Javier already has an Oscar and Penelope. What more does he need?
Jeez, when does this damn thing end already?
How many more awards to go?
one more,saxy
or 2.
What? No music slowly playing in behind?
Fuckers.
Go PS22!
Damn.The fire, the wine; might have to call in sick tomorrow.
Whoa. The Hathaway Marching an Chowder Society may get a member.
*rimshot*
10 movies is too much.too much
King's Speech
. . .and the winner is. . .
I thought True Grit should have won.
I saw The Social Network. I told a friend that it was like a really good movie of the week.
My kids only sort of liked TS3.
Black Swan was too scary.
The Fighter looked good. Just never saw it.
Inception was too CGI heavy.
Were there others?
lipsynching
Oh yeah, True Grit was technically a "remake," even though it wasn't.
Finally: British accents win; best made pics, not so much. Still does not explain Titanic, which was a huge BORE.
Who's on? Firth?
Sorry Saxy, Orel already made that joke.
Gotta be pretty quick to make the most obvious pun around here!
Yeah, I saw Orel's early joke. I thought it was all in the delivery however...
@RBN
That's exactly my take on SOCIAL. It was a two-part made-for-TV special on Monday and Tuesday night on ABC about some kids who made an internet site.
I know I've been torturing people with this BUT
who thinks Inception is a masterpiece?
Thanks for the affirmation, DB. Good movie, but not earth-shattering.
And I'm out.
@Karina
As I think we talked about when INCEPTION came out, my take is a bit less than yours. I thought it was a brilliant conception that fell apart about 2/3 of the way in. Love the idea; don't think it was well operationalized. The whole shooting at each other on ice made me laugh out loud - ill-conceived tripe. But yeah, it had some moments for sure.
