Black Sheep Live @ The Oscars

Evening Black Sheepers .. Sitting here, drinkin' my G&T and about to feast on much yumminess and much extravagance. I'll be updating the winners all night and tweeting live with whatever musings come to my or any of my party guest's minds. If you're not already following, here is the link:

Three awards so far and three great choices. Sure I would have liked to see a Fantastic Mr. Fox upset but an Up win is still a great thing. I'm also loving how they are actually honouring the nominted films and performers for their actual work. Even Martin and Baldwin and just going on about movies they love. This is what the Oscar's should be about.

Here are the winners so far:

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Christoph Waltz in INGLORIOUS BASTERDS

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
UP

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
THE WEARY KIND from CRAZY HEART by Ryan Bingham and T. Bone Burnett

I actually got the chance to catch the animated and live action shorts this year and I decided to vote what I thought should win rather than what was predicted to see how I would do. I was wrong on both counts. Just wait until I am a voting member.
