    Greetings! I missed the start while picking up the pizzas. Just like last year. Lame!

  2. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:10am UTC

    Matt Damon got cut off in an interview! You don't cut Matt Damon off! He's the best ever!

  3. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:12am UTC

    Wait, what happened? Sorry, I was too busy cutting Matt Damon off.

  4. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:12am UTC

    So, with me I have Keri, Tim, Katelin, Mike, Erik and Sarah. The competition is going to be fierce!

  5. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:12am UTC

    The female interviewer is really bad!

  6. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:13am UTC

    What happened was Omer didn't drive from California to come to our annual Oscar party!

  7. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:15am UTC

    Oh, real quick, the interviewer isn't bad because she is a female. That was an attempt at distinguishing her from the male interviewer. But apparently we have two female interviewers.

  8. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:15am UTC

    So much for singling out the bad interviewer. They're all bad.

  9. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:16am UTC

    So, I have never won the Oscar prediction competition at these parties. This year is going to be the first.

    Keri's going down!

  10. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:16am UTC

    J. Lo, if your dress has a tumor, you should probably find another one.

  11. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:16am UTC

    They keep cutting everyone off! What the heck!

  12. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:17am UTC

    Cut it out Omer!

  13. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:17am UTC

    Keri is very excited about the "Remember Me" trailer. Mostly because she loves Robert Pattinson more than me.

  14. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:18am UTC

    Probably because I don't suck human blood.

  15. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:19am UTC

    Commercials are lame!

  16. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:19am UTC

    I'm having trouble convincing Erik of the benefits of live blogging.

  17. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:21am UTC

    This "Parenthood" show looks good! It has that girl from "Ed" and that guy from "Sports Night"!

  18. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:21am UTC

    Tina Fey just showed up! Anything is better with Tina Fey!

  19. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:22am UTC

    Steve Carrol was there too. Some things are better with Steve, some things are worse with him...

  20. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:23am UTC

    Jeff Bridges! He's the best! Especially in "Arlington Road"!

  21. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:23am UTC

    Kate is here! I wonder if Leo is there too!

  22. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:23am UTC

    I'm back! I was in the middle of a game.

  23. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:23am UTC

    Kate has an accent? That makes me almost like her!

  24. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:23am UTC

    Plus, I'm a terrible person.

  25. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:24am UTC

    They just flashed Kristen Stewart on screen for a second. I got excited because I love her more than Keri.

  26. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:24am UTC

    Yeah, Keri doesn't love her very much

  27. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:24am UTC

    Omer: a game?! What could possibly be more interesting than this!?

  28. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:25am UTC

    Erik: yeah! Accents make anyone more interesting!

  29. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:25am UTC

    Which is weird, because the first three letters of her name are inside Keri's name. They're practically related.

  30. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:25am UTC

    That interviewer chick is awful! My IQ goes down just looking at her!

  31. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:25am UTC

    Boy the whole "Twilight" crew is here tonight. Taylor is my favorite!

  32. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:26am UTC

    Hopefully no one cuts their head or Taylor will have to tear off his entire tux to cover the wound!

  33. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:26am UTC

    I was playing The Feud. It's a lot of fun, and I'm really good at it.

  34. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:26am UTC

    Where the heck is Poppy?!

  35. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:26am UTC

    Erik: you need more durable IQ.

  36. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:27am UTC

    She's at work...

  37. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:27am UTC

    Omer: keep dreaming. You suck at The Feud. I'm losing on purpose.

  38. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:28am UTC

    That's interesting, because I'm winning on purpose.

  39. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:29am UTC

    Wow! Poppy didn't quit her job to attend the online Oscar party? Lame!

  40. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:29am UTC

    More commercials. Not a whole lot going on. We're all just waiting for the competition to start.

    And for Omer to show up.

  41. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:30am UTC

    SURPRISE!!!

  42. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:31am UTC

    You meant show up online, right?

  43. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:31am UTC

    Wow, the Oscars are getting off to an odd start! All the best picture nominees are just standing up there. Where are the hosts?

  44. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:32am UTC

    It's a bizarro Oscars. They're going to show up at your apartment.

  45. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:32am UTC

    Neil Patrick Harris is wearing a glittery suit and singing! Poppy would love this!

  46. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:32am UTC

    And, you're late for hosting.

  47. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:33am UTC

    Oh, man...

  48. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:33am UTC

    Well, I guess we couldn't watch it anyway, not having a TV and all.

  49. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:33am UTC

    Keri says "Go team Jacob"!

  50. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:33am UTC

    This musical number would have been better if Joss Whedon had written it.

  51. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:34am UTC

    Well, the hosts still haven't shown up. On TV or in my apartment!

    But Neil did a great job! A whole song and dance number with a chorus line!

  52. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:34am UTC

    Erik has gotten surprisingly quiet. Has looking at the interviewer too much rendered him unable to type?

  53. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:35am UTC

    Oh, there he is.

  54. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:35am UTC

    (Keri actually said "Go team Edward" but I'm on Jacob's team, so I sabotaged her!)

  55. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:35am UTC

    The Oscars would have been better if Joss Whedon had written them.

  56. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:36am UTC

    "And, the winner for best picture is... a future dystopia so horrific that it renders you unable to breathe!"

  57. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:36am UTC

    "Also: cowboys."

  58. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:37am UTC

    Omer's comments would be better if Joss Whedon were writing them.

  59. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:37am UTC

    Is it pronounced "Veera" or "Vera?"

  60. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:37am UTC

    So, the hosts showed up. Some of what they are saying is really funny. Some of it isn't.

    The "damn"-"dame" mixup on the teleprompter was good!

  61. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:38am UTC

    Joss Whedon is writing them. He showed up at our apartment. He's drinking a mountain dew.

  62. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:38am UTC

    I think it's "Elvira."

  63. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:38am UTC

    What are we talking about?

  64. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:39am UTC

    Also: cowboys.

  65. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:39am UTC

    Apparently, something really interesting is going on.

  66. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:39am UTC

    Or your apartment has been attacked by dogs.

  67. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:39am UTC

    I think most of it sucks. Let's get to the awards already!

  68. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:40am UTC

    And you are fighting for your lives.

  69. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:40am UTC

    I think a lot of these jokes are inside jokes. I don't get half of them!

  70. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:40am UTC

    Wait, there are going to be awards?

  71. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:41am UTC

    This Oscars thing is more interesting than I thought.

  72. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:41am UTC

    The audience sure looks to be having fun!

  73. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:42am UTC

    George Clooney didn't seem to be having too much fun.

  74. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:42am UTC

    They're just trying to make you jealous.

  75. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:45am UTC

    Mike enjoyed the beginning. He's seen the most of the movies though. So maybe that's the secret!

  76. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:45am UTC

    Alright Best Supporting Actor is up. I hope Matt Damon wins!

    But I didn't vote for him...

  77. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:45am UTC

    He was probably just thinking of me.

  78. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:46am UTC

    I hope Matt Damon wins too! Another chance to cut him off...

  79. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:48am UTC

    That's bullshit! It's rigged! How do I file a protest with The Academy?!

  80. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:48am UTC

    Christoph Waltz won :(

    Mike and Keri got it right, my nemeses. :(

    Keri: 1
    Tim: 0
    Katelin: 0
    Sarah: 0
    Mike: 1
    Erik: 0
    Me: 0

  81. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:51am UTC

    You send a strongly-worded letter to:

    Official Protest Department
    Academy Awards Division c/o Erik Nelson
    Keri's Apartment
    Boulder, CO 80301

  82. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:53am UTC

    Thanks Omer!

  83. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:55am UTC

    Any time, Erik! Good luck with your protest!

  84. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:56am UTC

    Hi, Joy!

  85. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:57am UTC

    How long are the academy awards supposed to go on? Poppy may get home as early as 7:30pm PST (in an hour and a half).

  86. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 01:58am UTC

    hello Omer!! its good to .... see you?

  87. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:58am UTC

    Apparently not much is going on. Sorry Omer!

  88. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    It's good to ...see you too!

  89. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    Best animated feature film is up. Everyone voted for Up!

    So no suspense here.

  90. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    Yeah! I got one. So did everyone else, so it does me no good, though.

  91. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    That's okay. It's only about 50% your fault, as the host.

  92. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    Up won!

    Keri: 2
    Tim: 1
    Katelin: 1
    Sarah: 1
    Mike: 2
    Erik: 1
    Me: 1

  93. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 01:59am UTC

    Hey Joy!!!

  94. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:00am UTC

    Oh, shoot. I voted for The Big Lebowski... I guess I lose another point...

  95. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:01am UTC

    Miley Cirus is not old enough to wear that dress!

  96. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:01am UTC

    Wow! Amanda Seyfried's name is pronounced "Sigh-fred". Who would have thought!?

    And poor Amanda has to present with Miley!

  97. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:01am UTC

    How's it going, Joy?!

  98. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:01am UTC

    Is a dress made out of alcohol?

  99. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:02am UTC

    Couldn't agree with you more, Redish-orange!

  100. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:03am UTC

    Omer: some dress probably, but this particular dress no! Just a lot of cleavage. She's like 16!

  101. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:03am UTC

    Her dress is made out of cleavage?!

  102. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:03am UTC

    I don't care how old you are, wearing other people's body parts is against the law.

  103. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:04am UTC

    Period.

  104. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:04am UTC

    What!? This is bullshit! It's rigged!

  105. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:05am UTC

    Damn, Mike and Keri got another one right. They are 3 for 3. Katelin and Tim got it right to.

    (this was for Best Original Song)

    Keri: 3
    Tim: 2
    Katelin: 2
    Sarah: 2
    Mike: 3
    Erik: 1
    Me: 1

  106. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:05am UTC

    I'm sorry, Erik. There's just no way around it.

  107. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 02:09am UTC

    how do you guys do it? i have only seen one of these movies

  108. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:09am UTC

    Opps! Tim didn't get song write! Man keeping track of this is tough!

    Keri: 3
    Tim: 1
    Katelin: 2
    Sarah: 2
    Mike: 3
    Erik: 1
    Me: 1

  109. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:11am UTC

    What you have to understand, Joy, is that Mike and Keri are perfect human beings, almost supernatural.

  110. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:11am UTC

    Whatever Omer.

  111. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:11am UTC

    And, clearly, everyone was going to get "Up." Even Benjamin.

  112. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 02:12am UTC

    well, that is a given. maybe that everyone else is trying to compete with such perfection?

  113. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:12am UTC

    Tina Fey is presenting with Robert Downey Jr!

  114. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:12am UTC

    I agree, Joy. That's really the surprising thing here, just perfect for an expensive anthropological study.

  115. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:13am UTC

    Tina, I love you, but asymmetrical dresses are bad.

  116. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 02:14am UTC

    I agree dread pirate

  117. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:15am UTC

    Original Screenplay is up. Mike voted for "Inglorious Basterds". Everyone else voted for "The Hurt Locker"!

    Mike might be in trouble!

  118. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:15am UTC

    Yes!!! Hurt Locker rules! I love that movie!

  119. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:16am UTC

    The Hurt Locker won! Eat that Mike and Tim!

    (sorry, I got Tim's vote wrong again!)

    Keri: 4
    Mike: 3
    Katelin: 3
    Sarah: 3
    Erik: 2
    Me: 2
    Tim: 1

  120. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:17am UTC

    Molly Ringwold? What? She's still around?!

  121. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:20am UTC

    Oh they are doing a thing for John Hughes. I love The Breakfast Club!

  122. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:22am UTC

    I voted for "The Breakfast Club" for best animated film. I can't believe it didn't win!

  123. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 02:23am UTC

    I enjoyed that!

  124. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:24am UTC

    Me too!

  125. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:25am UTC

    The Breakfast Club was animated?! Holy cow! That's some good CGI!

  126. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:26am UTC

    Yeah, which is why it should have won!

  127. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:26am UTC

    Yeah, which is why it should have won!

  128. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:26am UTC

    Benjamin, your website is broken. When I send the same message twice, it gets posted twice.

  129. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:27am UTC

    I'm sorry my website isn't good enough for you, Omer.

    I'm just glad that all of us refreshing and commenting isn't breaking things!

  130. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:29am UTC

    Agreed! Hey, do you mind if I kill all of your processes on our server?

  131. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:32am UTC

    Best Animated Short was up! And GUESS WHAT! Me, Erik and Tim all got it right!

    WOO!

    Keri: 4
    Mike: 3
    Katelin: 3
    Sarah: 3
    Erik: 3
    Me: 3
    Tim: 2

  132. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:33am UTC

    I'd rather you not! I'm sort of enjoying hanging out with you...

  133. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:34am UTC

    MIKE, NOOO!!!

  134. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:34am UTC

    Whew! They're flying through all these short films!

    No one got it for Documentary Short.

    That's good. If I don't get it right, then no one should.

    I think that is a pretty good rule for life actually.

  135. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:34am UTC

    I'm enjoying hanging out too!

  136. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:35am UTC

    Whatever, Omer. You're a liar.

  137. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:36am UTC

    I wanted to get the truth right, but... well...

  138. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:36am UTC

    Movin' on up!

  139. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 02:37am UTC

    Erik got Short Film Live Action right! He was the only one and is now tied for first!

    He must be cheating!

    Keri: 4
    Erik: 4

    8 March 2010 02:37am UTC

    It's rigged, eh, Erik?

  142. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:38am UTC

    I like Ben Stiller!

  143. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:39am UTC

    Ben Stiller is hitting this one out of the park! Katelin and Mike are eating him up!

  144. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:39am UTC

    Yeah, way to change the subject.

  145. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:40am UTC

    (not literally!)

  146. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:40am UTC

    Are they going to wear his cleavage?

  147. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:41am UTC

    Make up is up next. The Neslons voted for The Young Victoria. Everyone else voted for Star Trek.

  148. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:41am UTC

    Damn you Star Trek!

  149. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:42am UTC

    And Star Trek got it!

    Keri: 4
    Erik: 4
    Mike: 4
    Katelin: 4
    Sarah: 4
    Me: 4
    Tim: 3

    Come on Tim! You can catch up!

  150. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:42am UTC

    Shoot... I voted for Start Trek for best animated film. William Shatner is amazing.

  151. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:44am UTC

    So, I'd say, so far, these Oscars have been pretty good!

  152. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:46am UTC

    Agreed!

  153. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:47am UTC

    Mike are I are enjoying Erik's misfortune. He was trying to get up and banged his laptop on the coffee table.

    Tee Hee Hee!

    We're not really sure why it was so funny...

  154. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 02:49am UTC

    Jerks

  155. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:51am UTC

    Okay, best adapted screenplay was up! AND YOU KNOW WHO GOT ANOTHER ONE RIGHT!

    (I'm referring to me)

    Keri: 5
    Katelin: 5
    Me: 5
    Erik: 4
    Mike: 4
    Sarah: 4
    Tim: 4

    Keri, Tim and Katelin got it too! This is close!

  156. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:54am UTC

    And, who won?

  157. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 02:54am UTC

    The award, I mean, not the heated contest in Keri's apartment.

  158. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 02:59am UTC

    Man, I voted for the Twilight girl for Best Supporting Actress. I shouldn't have. I forgot you can't use you heart when voting!

    You have to use your head! And try and sneak a peek at Keri's paper!

  159. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:01am UTC

    Precious won for screenplay (earlier) and Precious (Mo'nique) won for best supporting actress.

    Mike and Tim got it right.

    Keri: 5
    Katelin: 5
    Me: 5
    Mike: 5
    Tim: 5
    Erik: 4
    Sarah: 4

    And Omer, the heated contest over here is the most important thing EVER!

  160. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:02am UTC

    Mr. Darcy is at the Oscars! Man he is just the greatest!

  161. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:02am UTC

    You just can't use Twilight when voting.

  162. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:03am UTC

    Wait... Mo'nique also played Mr. Darcy? Boy, she's more talented than I thought!

  163. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:05am UTC

    Omer, you get confused easily, don't you?

  164. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:05am UTC

    Wait... there's someone else named Omer here too?!

  165. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:06am UTC

    While I have been enjoying the Oscars, if we are judging them by the number of comments I have about them, they are a bit of a let down.

  166. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:06am UTC

    ... is it Erik?

  167. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:06am UTC

    Yeah, to me it looks like we've been stuck on comment 16 for a while now...

  168. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:07am UTC

    ... or... it did. Now, I am confused.

  169. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:07am UTC

    Everyone except for Katelin got Art Direction right. Avatar won!

    Keri: 6
    Me: 6
    Mike: 6

    Katelin: 5
    Erik: 5

    8 March 2010 03:07am UTC

    AGAIN!!

  171. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:10am UTC

    Things are heating up!

  172. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:11am UTC

    ... or... rather, remaining about equally heated to how they were!

  173. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:11am UTC

    Things are simmering!

  174. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:11am UTC

    Man I am in the thick of it!!! I got costume design with The Young Victoria!

    Keri: 7
    Me: 7
    Mike: 7

  175. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 03:13am UTC

    Taylor's coming up! Watch your head, everyone--no bleeding heads, please!

  176. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:13am UTC

    Apparently the Academy is on team Jacob!

    Kristen and Taylor are presenting next!

  177. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:16am UTC

    Hey Erik! That's funny! Though it felt a little familiar...

  178. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 03:20am UTC

    So, Kristen Stewart doesn't really do any acting in the Twilight films, huh? She just plays herself?

  179. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:20am UTC

    Twilight is a documentary, Erik.

  180. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:25am UTC

    They did a horror montage! I was engrossed!

  181. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:26am UTC

    Sound Editing was announced! The Hurt Locker won! Mike and I are kicking butt!!!

    Me: 8
    Mike: 8
    Keri: 7
    Tim: 6
    Erik: 6
    Katelin: 6
    Sarah: 6

  182. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:27am UTC

    And The Hurt Locker won for sound mixing! But no one voted for it!

  183. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:27am UTC

    Yikes! I was just grossed!

  184. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:27am UTC

    I mean, I would have been if I'd have been watching...

  185. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:28am UTC

    Oh, man... I voted for "The Hurt Locker" for best animated sound mixing...

  186. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:28am UTC

    Hey! its beth.

  187. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:31am UTC

    Omer! I'll give you a point for that! Good work!

    Hi Beth!

  188. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:31am UTC

    All right! So, I'm up to... 38!

  189. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:31am UTC

    Hi, Beth!

  190. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:33am UTC

    Beth apparently left. She didn't like us.

  191. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:35am UTC

    It's my fault. My head is bleeding.

  192. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:36am UTC

    That one was for you, Erik. Happy belated birthday, buddy!

  193. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:36am UTC

    Best Cinematography is up. Avatar won. Mike and I didn't get it.

    Tim: 7
    Katelin: 7
    Sarah: 7
    Erik: 6

    Mike is being giggly!

  194. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    Giggly Mike is the best!

  195. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    Well, tied for the best.

  196. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    how old is demi moore?

  197. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    With every other Mike.

  198. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    Their doing the montage movie for people who have died. These are often one of my favorite parts!

  199. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:38am UTC

    According to the Internet, around 48.

  200. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:39am UTC

    47 to be exact.

  201. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:40am UTC

    thanks Omer!

  202. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:41am UTC

    No problem, Joy and/or Beth!

  203. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:41am UTC

    Not too many actors this year. That's good I guess! They barely showed Patrick Swayze though.

  204. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:43am UTC

    Elizabeth Banks is Beth in 40 year old virgin. sorry, inside joke....

  205. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:43am UTC

    Is Demi Moore still dating Ashton Kutcher?

  206. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:43am UTC

    Dread Pirate, you just wanted to see a clip of dirty dancing!

  207. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:43am UTC

    Aha! We thought it was Bethany!

  208. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:44am UTC

    Yeah, I like Elizabeth Banks! I didn't know she was in that movie!

  209. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:44am UTC

    Wait, aren't they going to show a clip of Dirty Dancing? I voted for it for best animated film!

  210. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:45am UTC

    They showed a small 2 second bit of Patrick in Dirty Dancing! But no vocals!

  211. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:45am UTC

    According to the Internet, Demi Moore is no longer dating Ashton Kutcher

  212. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:46am UTC

    Because they are married!

  213. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:46am UTC

    did j lo use bubble wrap to make her dress?

  214. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:46am UTC

    At least it's not cleavage!

  215. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:47am UTC

    I'm going to keep making the same jokes over and over again until they become funny.

  216. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:47am UTC

    They didn't sing best original songs but they are doing a lengthy dance to some scores? Lame!

  217. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 03:47am UTC

    http://news.celebritywonder.com/2010/02/12/No_Valentine_s_Day_for_Ashton_and_Demi.html not sure if that link works, if it doesn't it just said they were too busy to celebrate last valentines day. so 2 weeks ago they were still together.

  218. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:48am UTC

    Wait seriously? Ashton and Demi broke up? What's your source?!

  219. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:48am UTC

    Uhh...

  220. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:49am UTC

    Seriously, this dancing thing (while dancing is fun) sucks.

  221. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:49am UTC

    Few! Thanks Joy! I was worried!

  222. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:49am UTC

    Do people only read half of my comments?

  223. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:49am UTC

    Like every odd comment, but not every even one?

  224. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    (steve) this part blows goats

  225. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:51am UTC

    Oh, except number 102!

  226. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    Goats indeed!

  227. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:51am UTC

    Even number 212?

  228. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:53am UTC

    Best Score is up. Mike is an outsider and voted for Up. Everyone else voted for Avatar.

    And Up won.

    Holy Cow.

  231. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:55am UTC

  233. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:56am UTC

    Also, when are you going to add an option to auto refresh exactly every 15 minutes?

  234. Boatswain The Fool 2

    Dread Pumpkin?

  235. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:57am UTC

    Jason Bateman is on! He sure was great in Arrested Development!

  236. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:59am UTC

    Due Process?

  237. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 03:59am UTC

    Dried Pears?

  238. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 03:59am UTC

    Hmm... something seems suspicious about TSP's reporting mechanism...

  242. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:04am UTC

  244. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:06am UTC

    Have you been going to the same page over and over again? Then that's not a new view!

  245. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:06am UTC

    I'll let Peter know.

  246. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:07am UTC

    I've been refreshing a page to get a new view of it. A fresher view. A view with ultra comment power.

  247. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:08am UTC

    I'm just saying, it kind of seems like we're all commenting on this post without bothering to view it.

  248. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 04:08am UTC

    I hate the Academy Awards. It's just a big popularity contest. It's not about the best movies--if it was I would obviously be winning!

  249. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:08am UTC

    The Hurt Locker won Best Film Editing! But no one voted for it!

  250. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:08am UTC

    Which, at least for me, is completely true. I've been completely ignoring everybody else's comments.

  251. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:09am UTC

    Especially comment number 212.

  252. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:10am UTC

    Erik, you're winning in my heart!

  253. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:11am UTC

    While you have a valid point, the view statistic isn't page views! That's a boring statistic! This one is more interesting!

  254. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 04:11am UTC

    Thanks Omer. Mine too.

  255. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:12am UTC

    I missed comment 212! I don't know how that happened! This is hard to keep up with everything!

  256. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:13am UTC

    You know what statistic you should have on every page? Mike views: number of times people have gazed longingly in Mike's general direction while on TSP.

  257. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:13am UTC

    You also missed comment number 227 apparently!

  258. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:14am UTC

    Or, actually, no. Scratch the Mike views idea. That number would be way too big to fit on a page.

  259. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:14am UTC

    Apparently I don't read anything!

  260. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 04:15am UTC

    (steve) so it's official, copius amounts of beer make my cold and the awards better

  261. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:15am UTC

    Which explains why you haven't responded to my marriage proposal from that post a few months back yet...

  262. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:16am UTC

    Excellent, Steve! Will there be a ribbon cutting?

  263. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:16am UTC

    Oh man! Me, Mike and Keri all voted for something different for Best Foreign Film. Someone can go ahead!

  264. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:17am UTC

    I'm going to go with The Hurt Locker.

  265. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:17am UTC

    I just hope you didn't pick Dirty Dancing for best picture...

  268. Boatswain The Fool 2

    ... again.

  269. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 04:22am UTC

    so mike and keri need to quit posting so much... (cough)

  270. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:22am UTC

    Does anyone know a single person who likes the toilet paper to roll under? The only reason the toilet paper is ever going under is because it was an accident!

  271. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:23am UTC

    (there was a commercial about toilet paper)

  272. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:23am UTC

    If the toilet paper rolls over, I burn it and then move out.

  273. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:23am UTC

    Seriously, Joy. They are just taking over this live blogging!

    I don't think Dirty Dancing was nominated!

    whoa, someone is wearing a 'normal' dress.

  277. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:26am UTC

    I like this thing where all the best actor nominees get talked about by people that have worked with them!

    One time, I saw the toilet paper rolling over in my bathroom, so I took all the paper out of its roll, hot wired a car, threw the toilet paper into the trunk, drove to Canada, bought five guns and two grenades, spent three weeks boozing it up, firing at, and blowing up the toilet paper, dumped it in a shallow grave, spit on it for three successive hours, then burned it using all the alcohol I had remaining.

    I really like it when my toilet paper rolls under.

  280. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:27am UTC

    Vera, that's a baaaaad dress.

  281. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:27am UTC

    What happens if all the people that work with someone don't like them?

  282. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:27am UTC

    Is it Veera or Elvira?

  283. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 04:28am UTC

    they show a 2 second clip of them in ghost when they die

  284. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:29am UTC

    Hey... is that why you filmed me in a ghost costume for two seconds?

  286. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:31am UTC

    Wait! I'm confused. Did no one like working with Patrick Swayze?

  287. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:32am UTC

    He was a really dirty dancer...

  288. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 04:32am UTC

    where's LEO???

  289. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:32am UTC

    Best actor is up! Me and Mike voted for Jeff Bridges! Let's go Jeff!

  290. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:33am UTC

    I love Jeff Bridges! Yes! He got it!

    Me: 12
    Mike: 11

    please, he's THE DUDE man.

  292. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:34am UTC

    Oh, shucks... I voted for Jeff Bridges for best animated bridge...

  293. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 04:35am UTC

    did he just thank his DP?

  294. Erik the Redish-orange 75

    8 March 2010 04:35am UTC

    Rigged!

  295. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:36am UTC

    Dancing Panda?

  296. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:41am UTC

    Man, if I get Best Actress right, I can't be beat! (but yes tied). This is history in the making people!

  297. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:42am UTC

    I just hope that you didn't vote for Dirty Dancing for best actress...

  298. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:49am UTC

    WHAT?

    Sandra Bullock? I guess I have to see this movie. Over the Precious girl?!

  299. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:49am UTC

    Tim got points for that one.

    Wow. So, how many categories are left? Two?

  302. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:50am UTC

    Fifty seven?

  303. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:52am UTC

    Two!

  304. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:52am UTC

    Is it suspicious that I've gotten 281 winners correct so far?

  305. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:53am UTC

    I'm so nervous!

  306. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:53am UTC

    So, can you be beaten at this point?

  307. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:55am UTC

    I mean, can anyone beat you for second place, since it's pretty clear that I've gotten first?

  308. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:56am UTC

    Kathryn Bigolow got it! First time for a woman! I've clinched a victory! First time ever!

    Me: 13
    Sarah: 12
    Tim: 12
    Mike: 11
    Keri: 10
    Katelin: 9
    Erik: 9

    This is history in the making!!

  309. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:57am UTC

    Nice!

  310. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:57am UTC

    Nice! This is a THE BEST EVER!

  311. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 04:58am UTC

    nice.

  312. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 04:59am UTC

    And The Hurt Locker won best picture. Tom Hanks didn't waste anytime announcing that one!

    Me: 13
    Sarah: 13
    Tim: 13
    Mike: 12
    Keri: 11
    Erik: 10
    Katelin: 9

    So, I didn't get a clean win.

    This day is ruined.

  313. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 05:01am UTC

    Next year, just make sure to vote for The Hurt Locker more.

  314. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 05:02am UTC

    lucks 13...

  315. Dread Pirate Benjamin 1

    8 March 2010 05:04am UTC

    Well, thanks for hanging out guys! At least I beat Keri!

  316. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 05:05am UTC

    Yeah, thanks for doing another live blogging event, Benjamin!

  317. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 05:05am UTC

    It was a lot of fun!

  318. Boatswain The Fool 2

    8 March 2010 05:06am UTC

    Plus, I finally got over 1000 comments.

  319. Cotton Eyed Joy 42

    8 March 2010 05:07am UTC

    congrats omer! night everyone!

  320. Boatswain The Fool 2

    How could I have watched the Oscar's without tsp? This competition was so much more entertaining than the one for most Oscars.

  322. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:43am UTC

    I'm going to respond to people's comments with the comment number I'm responding to in parenthesis at the end!

  323. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:44am UTC

    I definitely would love Benjamin more if he sucked human blood (13).

  324. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:44am UTC

    No Leo sightings! Bummer! :( (21)

  325. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:45am UTC

    Benjamin loves Kristen Stewart more than me. Probably because I don't constantly bite my lower lip. (25)

  326. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:46am UTC

    Yay for the "Twilight" crew! But I never saw Robert Pattinson... Apparently the Academy is on Team Jacob! (31)

  327. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:47am UTC

    Yeah, Omer Vasquez came to the Oscar party! (164)

  328. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:47am UTC

    The horror movie montage was fun, except they played a clip from Twilight. That is NOT a horror movie! (180)

  329. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:48am UTC

    The interpretive dancing was lame. What a silly idea! (216)

  330. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:50am UTC

    No kidding, Cotton Eyed Joy, where was Leo?? It's not an award show unless Leo is there! But he apparently only goes if he is personally nominated for an award. Even being a part of the best movie of all time isn't enough to get him to the Academy Awards.

  331. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:50am UTC

    That last comment was in response to number 288. Sorry I forgot to mention that!

  332. Sailing Master Keri 40

    10 March 2010 04:51am UTC

    You just wait until next year! You're going down, Dread Pirate! (315)
