Second Hour is Done -- Continue to The Final Hour with William Goss
Read our live-blog for the show's first hour with Eric D. Snider

10:31 -- I now hand you over to Sir William of Goss, for my cat is very hungry and I need to kick back for the big awards. As always, thanks for hanging at Cinematical for all your movie geekery.

10:28 -- Mr. Smith sticks around to give out Best Sound Editing (The Dark Knight) and Best Sound Mixing (Slumdog Millionaire).

10:27 -- Will Smith to dole out the Best Visual Effects award: Benjamin Button. I guess anyone who can make Brad Pitt can look ugly deserves an Oscar.

10:25 -- Action montage woulda been a lot cooler with the movies' noises instead of a lame rock song.

10:22 -- When Tom Cruise is being serious, he's dull. When he's being funny, he's pretty great. Who's with me? (This is in reference to the Tom Cruise / Jimmy Kimmel ad.) And now ... an action montage! Where's my volume button?

10:19 -- Pre-commercial female voice promises a 2008 Action Movie Montage! But first ... commercials!

10:18 -- Maher stays close by and gives the Best Documentary Short to Smile Pinki.







10:16 -- James Marsh's Man on Wire wins Best Documentary. Even the secretaries in your office pool got that one right.

10:14 -- Bill Maher as a presenter? Star of Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death? Oh yeah, he directed produced a documentary recently.

10:12 -- Montage with documentary filmmakers. Guess we know what award's next.

10:09 -- I freaking DARE the orchestra to "play" Ledger's family off the stage.

10:07 -- Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight

10:06 -- There's something eerily apt about Christoper Walken talking to and about Michael Shannon. No?

10:04 -- Christopher Walken, Kevin Kline, Cuba Gooding Jr., Alan Arkin and Joel Grey to do the honors. Man, any other year I'd be SO pulling for the comedy guy. But clearly it's Ledger's posthumous moment. As such, I'll forgo all snark for the next two minutes. And no, the winner hasn't been announced yet, I'm just that confident.

10:02 -- Looks like we're revving up for Best Supporting Actor. Get those Kleenex ready.

9:59 -- More commercials. Finally. FINALLY, someone found a way to put Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock in the same movie.

9:58 -- "The musical is back!" Yeah, unless you guys just KILLED IT AGAIN.

9:57 -- Now I know why nobody live-blogs the Tony Awards.

9:55 -- Random musical number for no good reason. I think that's Beyonce on the stage. Also, I just earned babysitting pay because Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Amanda Seyfried are on stage too. Also, Wolverine sure has a purty voice.

9:52 -- Oh good. Someone gave Nathan Fillion a new series. Looks like Moonlighting. Please let it be a hit, even if it sucks.
