What’s up party people, here is your official Playlist Oscars 2014 live-blog, steered with reckless, and rosé-soaked abandon by me, Katie Walsh. I’m no awards pundit, or expert, but I am an enthusiast for fashions, celebrities, and live television mishaps, which is what these awards shows do best, as well as hand out shiny gold doorstoppers to the best and brightest of Hollywood. It’s also a wonderful way to celebrate the end of what has seemed like an incredibly long and convoluted Oscar season (which really, is most of the year now), and tonight will no doubt be a great catharsis of all our collective anxieties, disagreements and heated opinions. Don’t worry guys, tomorrow, we no longer we have to think about “American Hustle.”
While many of the major awards seem locked in (Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor), there are still some major questions about tonight: Best Picture is still a toss up, as well as the the battle between Lupita N’yongo and Jennifer Lawrence for Best Supporting Actress (see our predictions here). Whatever happens, we’re looking forward to a memorable Matthew McConaughey acceptance speech (MCCONAISSANCE!), something awkward about Woody Allen, and Ellen DeGeneres hopefully erasing the bad taste of Seth MacFarlane (with song and dance no doubt).
So pour yourself something cold, saddle up to this liveblog and unbuckle your snark gun. Let’s do this.
