The 87th Oscars Live Blog!

Well, that’s the end my friends! Thank you for enjoying our live blog and thanks for supporting the site. Have a good night, I’m Tony Dupre of Blast Magazing signing off.

Good night!

I am so happy right now!

Congratulations cast and crew of Birdman!

You’ve all been waiting for it. Sean Penn is here to tell us what’s what!

As I said before, Birdman should win but American Sniper will win because…politics.

I do want Richard Linklater to win an Oscar though.

And the Oscar goes to…BIRDMAN!!

Alright, all that’s left is Best Picture. Now, Neil is going to open his prediction briefcase from the Box of Mystery.

Matthew McConaughey is up! Alright alright alright…

I think Julianne Moore should win and I think she will.

And the award goes to…Julianne Moore!

Eddie Redmayne is 33?! He looks like he’s 16.

Cate Blanchett presents the award.

I think Bradley Cooper will win but I want Michael Keaton.

Or my boy Benedict Cumberbatch!

And the winner is…Eddie Redmayne! He really did give a brilliant performance.

Ben Affleck presents the award!

And the Oscar goes to…Alejandro González Iñárritu!

Definitely the most deserving!

I’ve been doing this for four hours now, bruh. Oof…

Inherent Vice should win.

And the Oscar goes to…The Imitation Game!

Queue Oprah. How many cars will she give away?!

I hate Oprah.

Here comes Eddie Murphy!

I think Nightcrawler should win, or Birdman.

And the Oscar goes to…Birdman!

He also did the score for Godzilla, which was awesome.

Julie Andrews aka Everyone’s Nanny is presenting the award!

I really hope Interstellar wins, but I think Grand Budapest Hotel will win.

And the Oscar goes to…Alexandre Desplat for Grand Budapest Hotel!

Wow…she looks beautiful and sounds even more beautiful. Forgive me for speaking too soon! I was dead wrong.

Lady Gaga is doing a The Sound of Music performance

Scarlet Johansson, will you marry me? Please and thank you!

All that’s left is a performance by Lady Gaga (ugh…God save me) and the awards for Best Actor, Actress, and Picture!

John Travola and Idina Menzel present the award. Neil’s joke about Benedict Cumberbatch was really funny. Also Benedict’s face was priceless.

And the Oscar goes to…Glory!

Octavia Spencer presents the performance of Glory from Selma by Common and John Legend

Jennifer Anniston and David Oyelowo present the award.

And the Oscar goes to…Citizenfour!

Here comes Terrence Howard!

Uh…he’s basically pausing a lot for way too long, calling each nominee……..amazing….

Uh oh something happened with the audio. Is there a money in the speaker system?!

Alright it’s fine now.

Naomi Watts and Sherl- I mean Benedict Cumberbatch present the award!

And the Oscar goes to…Whiplash!

Holy crap…I didn’t know Bob Hoskins died…

She’s presenting the In Memoriam. Get ready to cry when they show Robin Williams.

Here comes Meryl Streep! <3

Idris Elba and Jessica Chastain present the award.

I really want Birdman to win for its unique look, but I think Grand Budapest Hotel will win.

Oh, wow, Birdman did win!

Chris Pratt and Felicity Jones are here to present the award.

The award goes to…Grand Budapest Hotel!

The president of the Academy is giving a speech about storytelling and filmmaking and that no one’s voices or opinions should be brought down or threatened. Film should protect freedom of expression. She talks about brave filmmakers who risk it to express themselves. The ceremony is being shown in over 100 countries and that we are all bound together by our love of cinema. She wants to thank everyone there and all the moviegoers around the world.

Alright so, as a writer and filmmaker, I love watching the Academy Awards every year. The problem is, each year they get more and more political and pandering and just…meh. So far this ceremony has been pretty bland. Nothing is worse than when Michelle Obama presented the award for Best Picture but I can imagine if American Sniper wins tonight, they’ll be doing some stupid political showboat event.

Zo Saldana and The Rock present the award.

I think it’s a complete crime and sin that The Lego Movie is not nominated. Hmph. Whatever.

The winner is Big Hero 6.

No. I am not happy about it. Next category.

I never understood how anyone thought Kevin Hart was all that funny. Anna Kendrick however is super cute. Anywho, they’re presenting the award. Let’s see who wins!

The winner is…Feast!

Loved that short!

I’m not sure who will win for Best Original Score, but I really hope Hans Zimmer wins for Interstellar. Lately his work has been kind of meh but he really came back with something beautiful and unique with Interstellar.

Two kids I’ve never heard of are presenting the award. Sorry guys, I forgot their names!

I think either Guardians or Interstellar will win.

And the winner is…Interstellar! Called it!

Here comes Josh Hutcherson! Hopefully he doesn’t try and kill the audience in order to win some sort of deranged tournament.

Rita Ora performs the song Grateful

I am very much for equal wages for women, but what at all does that have to do with filmmaking or your performance? Sit down Patricia Arquette, sit down!

Save your activist speeches for another night. That goes for everyone!

Jared Leto aka The Joker presents the award!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Also, Emma Stone needs to keep that white hair because she looks FINE

Alright here we go:

And the winner is…Patricia Arquette for Boyhood!

American Sniper wins

And the winner is…Whiplash!

Honestly, I think and also hope that Michael Keaton will win the award for Best Actor in a Lead Role

Five minutes, people! Here’s how Best Actor Nominee Michael Keaton is looking tonight.

Best Picture – As for some predictions, we all know the Academy Awards are a very political process and I honestly think that American Sniper will win this year.
