If you didn't tune in for the Academy Awards last night, here's a short breakdown of what you missed: William Shatner showed up from the future, Jennifer Lawrence tripped and fell, and Michelle Obama co-presented the award for Best Picture. It was kind of a weird night, but for the most part, the hardware was handed out to all of the expected parties. Argo won Best Picture, Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor and Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress. If there was a surprise, it was that Life of Pi walked away with the most awards (4) including Best Director for Ang Lee. Zero Dark Thirty got shut out of everything except for Best Sound Editing (in a rare tie with Skyfall). Quentin Tarantino was also a pleasant surprise for Best Original Screenplay. What did you think of this year's Oscars? What was the highlight of the night? How would you rate Seth McFarlane as host?...

Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone took the stage at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills this morning to announce this year's Academy Award nominations, and they played out almost exactly as everyone expected. Steven Spielberg's Lincoln led the way with 12 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and another Best Actor nod for Daniel Day-Lewis. Ang Lee's Life of Pi was up for 11 awards, while David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook and Tom Hooper's Les Miserables received 8 nominations apiece. There were a total of 9 Best Picture nominees this year, and if there were any surprises they would probably be Beasts of the Southern Wild and Amour. Django Unchained was also in the mix, although Quentin Tarantino was ignored for Best Director. On the bright side, Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams were all recognized for their performances in The Master, although the movie itself received no love.

- My living room can only fit less than a baker’s dozen, so this year my Oscar party was upgraded to cinema-size status. Ioncinema.com teamed with Montreal premiere’s destination for repertoire and art-house cinema Cinema Du Parc for a huge Oscar party with accompanying prizes and animation (thanks to our sponsors for making this event into an Event). So while my Oscar blogging isn’t Live per se, I’m here soaking up the stars, the night’s festivities and sitting within one of the two almost packed screens of patrons. Below is my full transcript of the ceremonies, my usual quirks and comments on the winners and losers. 8:30: Animated sequence historical timeline. No goose bumps. Jon Stewart here to give us his politically correct banter with some obvious reference to the writer’s strike and politics. So far very harmless with only a little
