88th Academy Awards 2016 - Live Blog!
The world is watching. As the stars done their finest dresses (bloggers, their best sweatpants), as the champagne starts to flow, as the excitement ripples across the industry - it’s the night we’ve all been waiting for: Leonardo DiCaprio will finally win an Oscar.
Ok - so we aren’t entirely sure that’s what is going to happen, it definitely looks like a dead cert. This may be a predictable year but anything can happen!
Besides, there is a whole ceremony to look forward too! As contenders gather at Hollywood, LA, the whole film community will be watching the glitz, the glam, and the controversy.
Keep up to speed with me and the 88th Academy Awards with this live-blog! Full of shenanigans and gifs!
23:00 - Adam McKay looks like The Big Tall, not The Big Short....
23:16 - FYI, I might use that Gif a lot. Bad jokes all around!
23:20 - Alicia Vikander looks incredible. Goddamn her!
23:28 - I have massive love for Alicia Vikander but she should be nominated for Ex Machina #Oscars
23:32 - Long live Furiosa!
23:34 - JACOB TREMBLAY IS THE WORLD'S COLLECTIVE SON!
"I CAN SEE A LOT OF LEGS"
STOP BEING SO ADORABLE!
23:56 - I think I've fallen in love with Saoirse Ronan!
00:12 - BRIE LARSON LOOKS AMAZING
ALL HAIL
OH MY GOODNESS
Brie Larson is just amazing. Humorous. Passionate. Talented.
00:15 - Look Stallone and Rylance doing the whole "chummy nominees thing" #Oscars
00:18 - Back to Brie Larson....
I am so in love.
00:21 - If anyone is looking for a job, I now hear Total Beauty is looking....
00:26 - Bryan Cranston is astonishing and will always be Hal

Hey there....
00:39 - It's less than an hour to go until the awards and it's that time where you have to decide between dress talk OR Alex Zane.
Fashion me the fuck up
00:40 - Sign our Petition for Jacob Tremblay to be our collective son!
00:41 - If you are live-blogging in the UK, you have to switch coverage between E! and Sky and, as we wind down to the ceremony, it gets rather dull! BRING ON THE AWARDS!
00:42 - I should point out - dull because it's not all about the nominees and their excitement. It's between four people looking at fashion choices or five people talking about their opinions on the film. It's just a little tedious. Someone fall over!
00:44 - Damn straight, Boyd HIlton - Ryan Coogler and Michael B.Jordan should've been nominated!
00:46 - John Williams does deserve it Boyd Hilton. You go Boyd Hilton
00:47 - The Force Awakens is genuinely one of the best scores of recent years. I could listen to I Can Fly Anything all the time.
00:48 - Damn you Sky Movies, I've been suckered into the conversation!
00:49 - Michael Fassbender's smile is glorious and villainous all at the same time
00:52 - CATE BLANCHETT WINS ALL!
00:53 - How can Alex Zane not know that very very famous fact about Rocky?
00:54 - FYI - We'd happily see Leo lose if Kate Winslet does this
01:00 - LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR TO GO! ARE YOU EXCIIIIITTTEEEDD???
01:06 - Leo is on the red carpet. So close to winning that Oscar gold!
01:07 - Best Friend Goals ^
01:11 - "If you want to just grab it and runaway, that's OK."
Will this be Leonardo DiCaprio's year?
01:13 - "If he doesn't win now, it's going to be heartbreaking"
01:18 - Tom Hardy! A surprise winner mayhaps?
01:20 - Brie Larson is such a giving interviewee.
01:26 - Time for an obligatory pee break
