Oscars: A Stream of Consciousness, Part 3

I'm segmenting these Parts by commercial breaks.

So far NOT a King's Speech sweep! Excellent.

Kirk Douglas! Here to do something. Presenting? No, according to Nyssa, just standing around on stage. Oh! Here for Best Supporting Actress. Weird choice. Hailee Steinfeld or Melissa Leo? Or a shocker? This category is wide open. A very exciting thing.

Best Supporting Actress

Prediction: Melissa Leo for The Fighter.

Winner: Melissa Leo for The Fighter! This is good. Nothing against Helena Bonham Carter, but this is another indication that The King's Speech isn't going to sweep. Leo's being sweet. I like her. WHOA. She just dropped an F-bomb. Not the classiest acceptance. In the end I'm not sure if I like her too much.

1/3

Mila Kunis from Black Swan and Justin Timberlake from The Social Network (and a lot of other things) are here to present Best Animated Feature and Best Animated Short.

The latter goes to The Lost Thing. Okay, good to know. Wow, those two winners have incredibly variating heights. (I'm not counting this in my official tally.)

Kirk Douglas was being a bit odd. I'd love to know how scripted that was, if at all. Funny at first, but I'm sure all the nominees were dying inside. Nyssa and I got a bit frustrated as well.

Best Animated Feature

Prediction: Toy Story 3

Winner: Toy Story 3. Of course. But it would have been cool if How To Train Your Dragon had won. Toy Story 3 was objectively better, but HTTYD spoke to me more. Lee Unkrich. Kind of a weird, awkward name. But it's good that he's finally getting an award for all the excellent work he does at Pixar.

2/4 so far!

Technical troubles. The web page that was streaming the Oscars suddenly started showing some random Jerry Bruckheimer movie and we're trying to find another site. I think it would have been commercial time anyway. Close of Part 3.
