Nobody will don't forget this in 5 days. 11:32 PM ... We are ultimately game. Best Picture. It will likely be "The Artist." I would like "Hugo" or "Tree of Existence," but that is not happening. It's what it's. (What it's is boring, incidentally.) 11:30 PM ... Incorrectly again! But a captivating speech from Meryl Streep cures all ails. You cannot hate around the Iron Lady. 11:24 PM ... Best Actress time. I have had cash on Michelle Williams but, again, I have been wrong before. Very, very wrong. 11:18 PM ... Aaaand I am wrong. Good you, Jean Dujardin. 11:14 PM ... Best Actor time.

In Memoriam this season includes director Ken Russell, Whitney Houston, Peter Falk, High cliff Robertson, Jobs and, obviously, Bette Davis. Who had been overlooked? 10:58 PM ... I can not be the sole one that would like to see James Earl Johnson win an honorary Oscar every year, right? 10:51 PM ... Best director would go to Michel Hazanavicius for "The Artist," freeing the field of an incredible chance to with each other drink to Scorsese's title. 10:50 PM ... Michael Douglas... papa Kirk is really a tough act to follow along with. 10:43 PM ... Just like that, the consuming game "Scorsese" was created. Thanks, Ms. McCarthy. 10:41 PM ... Be honest, on title alone, you had been rooting for "Time Freak." 10:38 PM ... Okay, nevermind! "Bridesmaids" onstage appearance, triggered! Let me think I simply willed this into existence. 10:30 PM ... Champion Woodsy Allen. You gained it. But curse you for slowly destroying the field of a an onstage "Bridesmaids" appearance. 10:27 PM ... "The Descendants" is around the board. Worthwhile for that Clooney-Lillard scene alone. Fantastic movie. (Obviously, I would not have were not impressed with a sixth "Hugo" win, but it's what it's!) 10:19 PM ... Thanks Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis not only for that cymbals, but in addition for showing Best Song to "Muppet or perhaps a Guy." There is no acceptable alternative. 10:14 PM ... "The Artist" scores its second award for the best Original Score. I can not say I looked after the film, however it warrants that one. 10:09 PM ... Every mentions of Andy Dufresne / "Shawshank Redemption" are welcome within this place. Also, this is the best Nick Nolte impression ever. 10:01 PM ... Plummer wins! At 82 years of age, he's the earliest actor to win an Oscar! He absolutely warrants this. There are seen "Beginners" yet, fix that mistake now. It is a wonderful film that warrants a Best Picture jerk over lots of the particular nominees. 9:58 PM ... Okay, Best Supporting Actor time. My cash is still on Christopher Plummer. Absolutely no way he manages to lose that one. Von Trapp for that win. 9:56 PM ... "Hugo" has become as much as five wins. That's what's promising. Unhealthy news: "Harry Potter" manages to lose Visual Effects, and manages to lose on its nominations along the way. Mischief unmanaged. 9:50 PM ... Bonus of RDJ showing documentary: by this instant, "RDJ Tebowing" is trending on Twitter. The planet is an excellent place. 9:47 PM ... I can not say I am not pumped for "Rango," though. That movie is really wonderfully bizarre. Good runner-up, but nonetheless no "Tintin." 9:45 PM ... Best Animated Feature is really a touchy subject for me personally. There's pointless on the planet that "The Adventures of Tintin" should not win this category... and it is not really nominated. Uncool. 9:41 PM ... A Robert Downey Junior. documentary could be awesome if he is at character as Tony Stark the entire time. Found-footage "Iron Guy" movie could be invincible. 9:38 PM ... That Cirque du Solei number needed more "Spider-Guy: Switch off the Dark." And much more Muppets and Jason Segel. 9:34 PM ... Kermit and Miss Piggy presenting Cirque du Solei rather than Jason Segal for "Muppet or perhaps a Guy" may be the least awesome utilization of a Muppet ever. 9:28 PM ... Okay! "Hugo" for four! This can be a positive thing! 9:26 PM ... Three for "Hugo" after Seem Editing! Similarly, I'm extremely pleased! Alternatively, "Drive" is formally shut from the race. Ryan Gosling fanatics (Hollywood Crush editor Amy Wilkinson especially), you're pardoned for tuning out now. 9:24 PM ... Film editing would go to "Dragon Tattoo," and there is much rejoicing. Not my personal favorite film of the season, no, however i am very amazed at how little love Fincher's adaptation got within the nominations. Nice to determine it take something it genuinely warrants so in early stages. 9:22 PM ... Bradley Cooper, I wasn't behind you for most sexy guy of the season. Your brand-new skeevy mustache has immediately corrected my position. #noithasnt 9:18 PM ... Christopher Guest and buddies should participate each and every focus group tests from now on. They ought to also continually be needed to sing "Stool Boom" at stated tests. 9:13 PM ... Christian Bale is "the most popular guy within the room,Inch Octavia? You need to do know you will find forget about Bale-starring Batman movies following this summer's "Increases," right? Nice try though! 9:12 PM ... "The AssistanceInch is formally around the board. Octavia Spencer takes Best Supporting Actress. It will be a huge shock if the shook out every other way, though I'll say, I'd have loved to determine Melissa McCarthy on that stage. 9:09 PM ... Talking about "Newsies," it's Batman! Christian Bale, searching rather cozy around the Oscar stage. 9:06 PM ... "A Separation" takes Best Foreign film, as numerous had predicted. I badly need to visit that one. 9:04 PM ... "Newsies" musical commercial = most enjoyable factor I'll see through the night. Also, guaranteed that I'll have "King of NY" held in my skull for that relaxation from the evening. No complaints. 8:58 PM ... Meryl leads "Iron Lady" for their first win with Best Makeup. Elsewhere, Griphook is moving in the grave. 8:55 PM ... "The Artist" starts its virtually assured warpath by having an award for Costume Design. The running tally: "Hugo" - 2, "Artist" - 1, The Planet - . 8:53 PM ... Random montage of "Exorcist" mind-spinning, "The Exorcist" TIE Fighter-ing, and "Twilight" make-out tease. Clearly, Hollywood is really a diverse office. 8:47 PM ... Two wins for "Hugo" quickly the softball bat, but at the fee for "Harry Potter." Already snubbed with no Best Picture nomination, it's searching such as the unfortunate streak may go on for "Potter" throughout Oscar evening. Speaking about "Harry Potter's" Oscar snub! 8:45 PM ... And the other for "Hugo," let's focus on Art Direction. Oscar evening is off and away to an excellent start for the friendly neighborhood blog editor. 8:43 PM ... Achievement in Cinematography begins the evening! And Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" may be the first champion around the board! Great news for me personally, "Hugo" is by far my personal favorite from the bunch this season. 8:38 PM ... "Oscar! Oscar!" Welcome back, Billy. 8:35 PM ... Billy Very looks less like live-action Tintin and a lot more like grown-up Junior from "Problem Child." Not too there's anything wrong with this. 8:33 PM ... A Attacking Young Boys cameo this at the start of the telecast? It will likely be a lengthy evening. 8:31 PM ... Beginning the showcase with Morgan Freeman? Never an awful idea. 8:28 PM ... My forecasts coming through the evening, beginning with supporting groups: Christopher Plummer for "Beginners," and Octavia Spencer for "The Assistance.Inch There won't be any shocks during these groups, nor if there is these two stars completely deserve their honours. (Though I would not complain in regards to a Melissa McCarthy upset!) 8:25 PM ...

Big guns fired up 'Rango' for success

'Rango'It started as a quirky pitch from Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp and Graham King: to make Paramount's first homegrown animated feature. It wound up an Oscar winner. "Rango" won best animated feature Sunday night at the Academy Awards, and though it had no Pixar juggernaut with which to compete, its outside-the-box tone and pedigree were not a stretch for a category that's seen a wide spectrum of unusual honors since its inception in 2001 -- including past winners "Spirited Away," "Happy Feet," and "Shrek." "This is crazy!" Verbinski exclaimed. "It was created by a bunch of grownups acting like children." The pic came together with a series of disparate elements: King, a producer best known for gritty crime dramas like "The Town" and "The Departed"; Verbinski, a director who had never helmed an animated feature before; and Paramount, a studio that had spent a decade merely distributing animated fare, leaving production to DreamWorks Animation. "Rango" is also the first animated feature made by George Lucas' special-effects company Industrial Light & Magic. Verbinski charged through an extensive thank-you list, including Paramount -- "who really let us do something different." He concluded by saying, "It doesn't get any better than this." "Rango" topped "A Cat in Paris," "Chico & Rita," "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Puss in Boots." Contact Justin Kroll at justin.kroll@variety.com
