Hey folks, Harry here with another of my long winded Oscar - Watch pieces. Now I can't guarantee that any of this will make any sense at all. For those that have been reading the site for years, you know that I type whatever comes into my mind while watching the Academy Awards. I don't hit backspace, I do not censor my brain... Appropriate and inappropriate things will be typed. I begin with BARBARA WAWAS' Oscar Special, and continue typing through Best Picture. It is a marathon. Obviously going into this evening I'm hoping for big wins from LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and MOULIN ROUGE. Many of you don't know my feelings about A BEAUTIFUL MIND because frankly... I didn't care for the movie much at all, but felt that if I wrote a review, because I just never was able to come up with a review I was happy with. I would love for Jennifer to win, but frankly I want Tom to win for IN THE BEDROOM.

As always, I'll be watching the Oscars with my family, we all have predictions, and the winner gets the vaunted OSCAR THE GROUCH Trophy for a year! Personally I hope Kublakhan wins!

It is an hour and 15 minutes before Barbara WaWas hits my television set, we're getting ready for a very emotional evening. I hope you enjoy all of this... But I warn you again.... It will be very rambling. See you in a bit...

Ok, so I joined Barbara WaWas in progress, she's just starting the Tom Cruise segment. Holy fuck... That Montana Miss airplane is just amazing.... what a toy!!!! That's a cool toy. What's up with the X-MEN jacket? TOM I WANT TO GO INTO SPACE.... I'll cover your trip to the moon real good!

Oh boy... a post Oscar WaWa bash!!!! Well that Tom Cruise interview was such fluff... I'm so depressed. No good new MINORITY REPORT footage... I wanted to see more of Tom's toys.

The Moulin Rouge opening of the oscars is pretty cool, but I think they are so lying about those posters being up in town.... That would rule though. Halle's dress rules! Ewwww Chris Connelly. Yuck. 28 minutes to show time. Leeza... funky earrings... GO PETER!!!Hahahahha SOUND PROBLEMS!!!! hahahahahahaha

Julia Roberts pees green marks! Those factoids are soooooo informative.... Halle is amazing looking.... and that's like a really hot Elvis Mitchell!!!! Halle's character in DIE ANOTHER DAY is JINX... wonder what that is about. Sissy Spacek... DON'T WIN!!!!!

Look at the cool geek in the Superman shirt!!!! You rule!!!! Owen is set to talk... He looked so bored. Lopez looked so funky... Cameron Diaz... yummmmm... A Salt Lake City party... is that interesting? Oh cool LOTR music!!!

"I wouldn't like to attempt to pee at this point!" best quote of the night so far... Denzel is gonna win... I know it.

Hobbits in Tuxes!!! SEAN.... ELIJAH.... I'm so hypnotized by that bracelet.... OKLAHOMA oscar party? What is going on? The insanity...

Renee is drunk and can't feel her legs and Nicole looks like the most beautiful thing in the world. Except maybe Cameron Diaz who just looks amazing tonight.. OH MY GOD... Smith got to actually box with Ali.... THAT IS SO COOL.

Ok... Now for the 2002 ACADEMY AWARDS

Oh cool... John Williams is conducting for the night!!!!! Very cool, that's a cool auditorium!!! Here comes Tom Cruise.... 6 year old fascination with 2001, wanted to be an astronaut....

Helen Mirren - I really didn't care for GOSFORD PARK.... Maggie Smith is a wonderful actress, but again, it didn't thrill me... Marisa Tomei was fantastic in IN THE BEDROOM... a really good scene... Kate Winslet in IRIS.... she's naked more than the others in this category, so she may win..... Oscar goes to.... JENNIFER CONNELLY!!!!!! Yipee!!!!! Her comes super beauty!!! Now if this ends A BEAUTIFUL MIND's run, I'll be very happy for the evening. I hate scripted acceptance speeches....

My brother in law and Yoko Ono have the same favorite movie ever.... What's up with that Sutherland/Glen Close thing. That man would be so pissed if his classic cadillac transformed into that new piece of shit
