My brother liveblogged the Oscar telecast.

I thought for sure I had Robert Altman as my closing In Memoriam montage in Fred's Oscar pool, but I see I erased it and wrote Jack Palance instead. Oops. A shame because I was so golden with the tiebreaker, guessing 3:42 for a running time, and got seven out of the eight major categories right and a better-than-random six-for-fifteen on the minor categories.

Sound editors' inside joke.

In Slate, Kim Masters makes a point similar to the one I made when Slim and I saw LKoS. (Many spoilers.)
