81st Oscars: Live Blogging

Good stuff so far... Jackman's intro, Penelope Cruz, Tina Fey & Steve Martin, Dustin Lance Black (Milk screenwriter)... not to mention Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! :D

In general I'm liking the format this year... it feels more authentic and less gimicky than in the past, though still uber-glitzy of course.

I'll be checking in again... keeping fingers crossed for Kate Winslet.
