Oscar night is about to begin...

...and I still haven't analyzed how I did on my nomination predictions, and not even how I did on my Golden Globe nomination predictions. I'd still have one or two things to say about either, but should I really still do it?

Anyway, in a little more than two hours the Oscar show with Barney Stinson himself will start (no, I do know Neil Patrick Harris is more than just that. That e.g. he has hosted the Emmys how many times)... oh, that makes me realize, I'll have to charge my iPhone, because I need to check Twitter for comments about the show all night long, as I did the last years since I registered with Twitter.

But I'm getting digressed: I just guessed the winner for all 24 categories, which I used to always do in private back when IMDb still had that ballot to fill out online and print, but this year it seems there not having it. I did it anyway, though I have absolutely no idea to be honest in most of the "less important" category, and I want to make it public, so here goes:

R.I.P. Robin Williams (1951-2014)

It's 0:40 a.m. on the 13th of August where I am as I start writing this [it's actually 9:08 p.m. now that I'm finally posting it, as I just couldn't f**king manage to get the "Posterized" part right last night, and finally did go to sleep much too late out of frustration], and I really should be going to sleep, as I have to work tomorrow (well, today, actually), but even if I don't know if anyone reads my blog - and I am still too shy to actually try anything to promote it - I feel it has to be today.

Robin Williams died on August 11th, but due to time lag, it was already August 12th here when I heard it, around 7:30 a.m. when I was driving to work this morning. It is still hard to believe that he is dead, but that will change within a few days.

Whenever a celebrity dies, other celebrities, friends, former co-workers, or just attention whores, will point out what a kind person the deceased was. It's nice though, when they have a little story to tell for evidence.

Oscars 2014

I've been thinking about starting to blog for a long time now. As an Oscar fanatic, this year's Oscars are like a now-or-never chance for me to start. So here are my thoughts on this year's show, chronologically (not everything, just "highlights"):

• Anne Hathaway presents Best Supporting Actor. Everyone knows it's gonna be Leto, so let's get him out of the way. AnnE acts weird. Jared Leto seems as though he is on some kind of drugs. His eyes... and it takes him weirdly long to perform whole sentences... He's not just on some harmless drug, and he has not taken just a little bit of it, if you ask me...
• A few awards later, Indiana Jones himself introduces three of the nine Best Picture nominees. He is so bored by all of that...
• An undistinguishable dude that I learned was Channing Tatum introduces... what was that? As far as I understood... winners of some sort of talent competition... whatever!
• The botox victim Kim Novak and Texas T-Rex (thank you to the hilarious posters on www.crazydaysandnights.net for his nickname!) present Best Animated Short and Best Animated Feature.
• Sally Field presents "ordinary heroes", and she is one of them. I don't really dig it. Nice to see Sally, though.
• JGL + Hermione Granger present Best Achievement in Visual Effects. I love Emma, but honestly, she doesn't look too excited the whole night.
• Kate Hudson + Jason Sudeikis present Best Live Action Short + Best Documentary Short. I wouldn't have recognized either of them. A tweet by a semi-famous person I won't name just now, whom I like very much, and who's a hilarious tweeter in general, mislead me to mistake Jason Sudeikis for Ezra Miller...
• Kevin Spacey presents the Governor's Awards.
