11:40 pm: Jean Dujardin is out to present the Best Actress award (for those of you who don't remember, he won the Best Actor Award last year. This is another competitive category.

11:34 pm: And most people would be wrong, because the Oscar went to Ang Lee for Life of Pi!

11:32 pm:  Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas are on stage, presenting the award for Best Director. Since Ben Affleck can't win, this category is wide open. However, most think it could go to Stephen Spielberg.

9:32 pm: Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx from Django Unchained are presenting the best short film category. The Award goes to Curfew, and like the Best Animated Short Film winner he comes out of the box on the side of the stage. Am I the only one wondering why the short subjects were put away from everyone else?

9:25 pm: And now Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger! Sorry Adelle, Skyfall was good but this is the gold standard.

8:41 pm: And now a reenactment of the movie Flight with sock puppets!
