The Oscars Follow-up: Yes, I Missed Live-Blogging...

Partway through the really boring and tedious Oscar telecast last night, I started thinking my usual snarky thoughts. Things like "Who thought it was a good idea to let Kirk Douglas give out an Oscar? He looks like he just saw the Ark of the Covenant."

Or: "I can't wait to see Russell Brand in The Tiny Tim Story."

And: "While I personally love Anne Hathaway, she has all the earnestness of a drama school dropout in a road company production of Guys and Dolls."

Okay, maybe it's best that I did NOT live-blog.

Although, I have to admit, they almost did it in 3 hours. That's a start. But otherwise it was a boring and lifeless broadcast. And so much for appealing to a younger demographic. Hathaway and co-host James Franco might as well be as old as Kirk Douglas, just better preserved.

So here's how yours truly ("Grumpy Gary") and "Bitter Marja" (from this post, here) fared:

BITTER MARJA:

Best Actor: James Franco NOPE

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale YES

Best Actress: Michelle Williams NOPE

Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo YES

Best Director: Tom Hooper YES

Best Film: The King’s Speech YES

GRUMPY GARY:

Best Actor: Colin Firth YES

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale YES

Best Actress: Natalie Portman YES

Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo YES

Best Director: David Fincher NO

Best Film: The Social Network NO

So...we tied. We each went 4 for 6. I blanked on the best director and film categories, Marja on the actor and actress categories.

Now we--and the rest of the country's media--can get back to the real important things: Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, and who will be the next American Idol.
