The red carpet parade’s starting at 6pm. Show starts at 8pm. Not my cup of tea, but there’s plenty of Oscarblogging and ‘net coverage elsewhere, including:

James Joyner’s Oscar picks at OTB.

Newsmax on the “Christian Oscar” awards.

Moviefone’s viewers’ choice awards. Guess which movie the masses picked?

Liveblogging at Making the Movie and Mark Coffey’s.

And, of course, Drudge.

Related: Here’s a fun blog flashback from June, when I opened up comments for recommendations on great war movies. Lots of excellent suggestions from readers. Break out your Blockbuster card.

Update:

A pro-Bush rally at the Oscars.

Joel Mowbray writes about Hotel Rwanda and Kofi Annan missing in action.

Jeff Harrell’s film reviews are here. Roger L. Simon, screenwriter and Oscar voter, liveblogged and shared his picks here.

Juliette at Baldilocks liveblogged the show, too: “Is there a woman in Hollywood, besides Beyonce Knowles, that still has her original face?” Heh.
