Here’s how this live-blog will work. I’ll post minute-by minute observations of the show from the start to the finish. And all of you readers out there are welcome to chat along in the comments! I want this to be as interactive a viewing experience as possible, so please comment frequently with your Oscar thoughts! I’ll try and respond to as many comments as possible in the live-blog. Click on and keep refreshing your page for live updates.

UPDATE: The live-blog is continuing on another page. Click here for 10:00 onward.

Oscar Winners Leaked???

Oscar Winners Leaked??? interesting reads

Probably not. But many sites have shared their opinion on the controversial list released by http://oscars2009leaked.blogspot.com/:

Actor in a leading role: Mickey Rourke
Actor in a supporting role: Heath Ledger
Actress in a leading role: Kate Winslet
Actress in a supporting role: Amy Adams
Animated Feature Film: Wall-E
Art Direction: The Dark Knight
Cinematography: Slumdog Millionaire
Costume Design: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Directing: Slumdog Millionaire
Documentary feature: Man on Wire
Documentary short: The Conscience of Nhem En
Film editing: Milk
Foreign language film: Departures
Makeup: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Music (Score): Defiance
Music (Song): Down to Earth (Wall-E)
Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire
Short film (animated): Presto
Short film (live action): Auf Der Strecke (On The Line)
Sound editing: Wall-E
Sound mixing: The Dark Knight

Almost everyone seems to believe that this is a fake, but very accurate prediction of what’s to come for Oscar Sunday. Aside from Amy Adams’ supposed victory, the list really does seem dead-on. The only thing it doesn’t predict well, in my opinion, is Hugh Jackman’s inevitable mediocre job as host. I like the guy, but Jon Stewart is much funnier- he should be the new yearly lock. Whatever. Comment on the list, and share YOUR predictions below.
