Oscars Liveblog 2013!

Join Joe Shearer, Christopher Lloyd and the rest of the Film Yap crew as we once again liveblog the Oscars!!

12:07 Chris: Thanks to everyone who joined us, and to my partner-in-crime Joe. Cya next year!

12:04 Chris: Here's the postmortem on my Oscar picks: I got 15 out of 24 right, which is a down year for me. But glad to see the gold spread around.

11:59 Chris: Jeez, slow down Ben. They're not going to play you off!

11:56 Joe: As someone on Twitter said, Affleck's snub was so bad the White House got involved. Also, "Argo."

11:54 Chris: And I'm looking at Michelle Obama why?

11:50 Joe: Okay, THAT was the line of the night. Also, DDL winning was such a lock that Meryl didn't even need to open the envelope.

11:49 Chris: Daniel Day-Lewis becomes the first person to win Best Actor three times, and the first actor to win for portrying a U.S. president.

11:46 Joe: Jennifer Lawrence falls down collecting her first Oscar. She's even more awesome.

11:43 Chris: OK Quvenzhane Wallis muscle flexing celebration thing has officially gotten old.

11:35 Chris: So far all my bold picks for surprise wins have struck out. I'm fine with Ang Lee winning; most people recognized "Life of Pi" as his singular vision.

11:27 Joe: Quentin! Quentin! Quentin!

11:24 Chris: Denzel Washington looked really bored in that reaction shot. I noticed they seem not to be doing as many cutaways to the audience this year.

11:23 Joe: Holy crap I thought Dustin Hoffman was gonna start motorboating. Don't think I would have been able to resist had it been me.

11:18 Joe: Adele lets the Skyfall! Love her shout out to "my man."

11:05 Chris: Once again, a REALLY long time has gone by since we last gave out an award.

11:03 Joe: Just when I was going to praise the lack of a live singer to overshadow the In Memoriam, Streisand saunters out and turns a classy tribute into a preening, self-serving lounge act.

10:51 Joe: At least KStew didn't yawn or belch this year.

10:49 Chris: Daniel Radcliffe is so happy to be presenting with Kristen Stewart: "Finally, someone shorter than me!

10:44 Joe: I got 10 bucks that says if David O. Russell ever gets up on the stage, Lily Tomlin is getting on stage and cussing him out, Huckabee's style.

10:40 Chris: Well, Adele just nailed it. She's a born performer; seems so comfortable on the big stage. But what happened to having all six James Bonds on stage with her?!?

10:36 Joe: Adele's performance is giving me chills. Also, she's sparkly.

10:27 Joe: Everyone can relax. Anne Hathaway's THO is VFX. #fauxnips

10:24 Chris: You know the makeup in "Les Miz" was good because they actually managed to make Anne Hathaway look ugly.

10:18 Chris: Why is it the technical awards all seem to go to middle-aged men with unfortunate long hair?

10:16 Chris: A tie? I've heard of a tie at the Oscars!

10:15 Joe: That Tribute to Musicals, Part XVIII lasted 45 minutes, I think. Also, Russell Crowe is a fantastic singer...for a tone deaf ox.

10:12 Chris: Is it me or has it been like a half-hour since we gave out the last award?

10:08 Chris: Screw all y'all. I loved "Les Miserables." And Russell Crowe CAN sing!

10:05 Joe: Well, that happened, I yawned. #notafanofthemusical.

9:59 Chris: Somehow Jennifer Hudson's breakout performance in "Dreamgirls" seems tainted now that she's just another super-skinny glamazon.

9:57 Chris: OK after Catherine Zeta-Jones' obvious lip-synching, I take back what I wrote earlier about Shirley Bassey. OK, not really. But man that was bad.

9:56 Joe: I have to disagree, Chris. You're obviously forgetting about "Funny Games."

9:52 Chris: "Amour" is a tale of long physical descent and mental decay, of romance soured by the crushing burdens of life and ultimately of a man who takes the life of his own wife. It is also Michael Haneke's most uplifting film.

9:45 Chris: So the feel-good choice goes to "Searching for Sugar Man" for best doc. This is looking more and more like the feel-good Oscars. Usually it's so serious!

9:31 Joe: No kidding...that's 4 minutes during which I could have been watching The Walking Dead. Cool tribute, but really?

9:26 Chris: OK Shirley Bassey is definitely not lip-synching ... and maybe she should've thought about it.

9:21 Chris: Do you know the "star" nominees get a swag bag filled with $47,000 worth of stuff? But not the technical nominees like Makeup and Costumes. Occupy Hollywood!

9:12 Joe: I love the sense of humor that they've injected. I agree the Rudd/McCarthy didn't score, but the "Jaws" theme was hilarious, and the guy going along with it until they cut him off was priceless. Nicole Kidman? Not in on the joke.

9:08 Chris: Why do all the actors feel like they have to do a comedy routine before they give out their award? Paul Rudd/Melissa McCarthy was just painful. Avengers guys wasn't much better. Just give out the award!

9:01 Joe: Chris, it was the worst of the nominees. Wreck-It Ralph was robbed!

8:59 Chris: And "Brave" wins in the Pixar-by-default category. Not even among the top three nominated.

8:51 Joe: Wow, Christoph Waltz, maybe an upset in what I see as a 5-way dead heat in this category. Waltz is quickly becoming one of the coolest people in Hollywood.

8:47 Joe: Jennifer Lawrence's reaction shot officially made her the hottest woman in the world. Also, this is the most surreal Oscars opening I remember. I am digging it, though. One great joke after another. The Denzel/Nutty Professor joke was brilliant.

8:43 Chris: Wow Channing Tatum is way shorter than Charlize Theron. I always thought he was a big guy.

8:40 Chris: Great reaction shot from Jennifer Lawrence during the "Boobs" song!

8:30 Chris: Responding to Jill in our comments: Anne Hathaway can show as much of her business as she wants.

8:36 Joe: Captain Kirk!

8:35 Joe: Early contender for line of the night: "Oh, no, that's what we were afraid he was going to do."

8:30 Chris: Responding to Jill in our comments: Anne Hathaway can show as much of her business as she wants.

8:06 Joe: Adele towers over Kristen Chenoweth like Gheorge Muresan did over Billy Crystal in "My Giant." Also, Adele is a gorgeous woman.

8:01 Joe: Just got home myself from seeing "Argo," then spent the past several minutes arguing with my dad over whether Quvenzhane Wallis should have been nominated for Best Actress. "She just acted like a 6-year-old girl!" he said. He has a point, but I think there was more to it than that.

8:00 Chris: OK, we'll get rolling here shortly. Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party, but I've been passed out for about the fourth time today. Oscar weekend is almost too much for some of us!
