Belay That Oscar

I am going to watch the whole Oscars shebang unabridged and unhinged with a couple of good friends who share the madness. However, to fit in with their timetable, we will begin our viewing at 10pm our time. That’s a full 5 hours or so after the ceremony ends. I am determined to stay unspoiled on the winners and losers, so the shenanigans can proceed without hindrance.
As a side effect of this, I will not be repeating last year’s stupidity wherein I got splendidly drunk by myself and badly livejournalled the Oscars as it happened. I am sure you will all be deeply, deeply saddened by this absence in your Oscars experience.
Instead, I direct you to the always-brilliant Fametracker for your Oscars awesome – my favourite every year is Best Picture Nominees Turned TV Series.
(And The Onion has their wonderful Celebrity Reporter Jackie Harvey live-blogging the whole thing. Item! Sure to be 100% factual.)

It is long, long past time that I get this bloody novel finished. I am swearing off social activities that are not weddings or funerals until it is done. So I have decreed. Expect shorter blog entries as well. (Audience sighs in relief.)
