HONOURARY AWARDS
Angela Lansbury
Steve Martin
Piero Tosi

HUMANITARIAN AWARD
Angelina Jolie

8:31pm - Of course Ellen's not wearing a gown! People are crazy. And seven years ago was the last time she hosted? Wow. And love the "so different!" Everyone is nominated who was last time; perfection.

8:32pm - Only Ellen could pull off that Barkhad Abdi joke without being too offensive. AND the Liza Minnelli joke!

8:33pm - I always forget the Oscars get themes. Heroes in Hollywood is a good one, though.

8:34pm - Definitely laughing more this year than last! I'll always take Ellen over Seth MacFarlane.

8:35pm - Love the 'total of six years of college' - especially with people like Lupita Nyong'o in the room!

8:37pm - It is the Hunger Games. Jennifer Lawrence won last year. PERFECT. And gotta love that Ellen is pushing to bring her the Oscar - no more tripping! She only trips once, generally, so we should be good.

8:40pm - Oh Ellen! Killing it with the subtle penis jokes for Jonah Hill!

8:41pm - I obviously have a problem remembering the order of awards. I always forget Best Supporting Actor is given first!

8:43pm - YES! Jared Leto definitely, more than anyone, deserved this award. He broke my heart and lifted it at the same time. His performance in Dallas Buyers Club blew me away. This award was maybe predictable after he swept the awards all season long, but it doesn't mean that getting this highest honour doesn't mean anything.

8:47pm - Ahh Jim Carrey, not feeling shafted at all! Haha. I find Jim Carrey less and less funny as time goes on,though.

8:51pm - Oh, Ellen. Never gives up a moment to plug Finding Nemo. Who's excited for the second one? (Because Ellen's more excited than you are, I promise.)

8:47pm - Love Pharrell engaging with everyone in the front row! Meryl would, but Amy Adams was amazing. She was so into it! Love her so much.

8:59pm - I love Catherine Martin's design work, and I also love her. She's awesome. And Gatsby costumes were phenomenal! Love her work with Luhrmann. Also, things you learn: she's married to Baz Luhrmann. I used to know who everyone was married to!

9:20pm - I'm not sure I can handle the adorbs of JGL! Bowing to Emma Watson, looking like an excited little boy to open the envelope - the man is so amazing.

9:30pm - I was SO hoping Kate and Goldie would be presenting together. Oh well. I bet Jason Sudeikis is crossing fingers for HELIUM to win - he was nervous about pronunciation! OH IT WAS HELIUM!

9:42pm - Love the honourary Oscars! Steve Martin is so gracious. And Angela Lansbury - 'are you the living definition of range.' Well put, Geoffrey Rush. Well. Put. AND she would call an Oscar a golden chap.

9:43pm - Piero Tosi, yes!

9:44pm - Jean Herschel Award for Angelina Jolie is in no way surprising, but much as I don't like her as an actress, she does great work.

9:55pm - Fingers crossed for Benedict Cumberbatch to run around behind U2 onstage and do another epic photobomb.

10:04pm - I still think the Science & Tech awards should get WAY more recognition. These are the people who make things POSSIBLE!

10:35pm - No one can tell me P!nk can't sing. Not ever. Not a conventional belting voice, but she's still lovely to listen to.

10:36pm - Things I learn: I'm really bad at liveblogging and really good at livetweeting.

11:36pm - Really, Angelina Jolie? Maybe you don't cut off Sidney Poitier. Who cares what the teleprompter says or if he's slow? Shush!

There were really no upsets this year! That often makes for a fun but volatile time. I figured most of the people who won would win. But I also didn't have a problem with anyone who won, really. It mostly made me see that I need to see all of the films! When I'm not planning an event going up two days after the Oscars, I will see all of the nominated films. Thanks for coming along on the awards season ride for another year!
