Alright, so the show wraps up with a big win for "No Country for Old Men."  I suppose the Oscar is essentially in hand.  So...odd.  Anyway, Josh Brolin cracked me up with his comment, "This is Javier Bardem's 497th award."  And his little jab at the end was cute as well: "The Coens are freaky little people, man.  And we made a freaky little movie, whether you liked the ending or not."  My only question is "what ending," but fair enough, Josh.

(Full winners list at the bottom of this post.)

Live blogging the awards as they come down (and as my satellite freaks out due to the weather):

7:00 p.m. -- Here's the big daddy.  Tom Cruise takes the stage.  The actor goes to the cast of......."No Country for Old Men."
6:59 p.m. -- Christie brings so much class to the stage here.  Very nice.  Big love for Sarah Polley.  "This really does belong to you," Christie says.  "And if I've forgotten anybody, well it's just because I'm still in character."
6:57 p.m. -- And the actor goes to...Julie Christe.  That's what 100,000 DVDs will get you.
6:56 p.m. -- Forest Whitaker comes on to give out Best Actress.  Let's see, this is where Ellen Page has to make her move...
6:54 p.m. -- No matter how similar they are, I really have enjoyed Day-Lewis' speeches and discussions this season.  He invokes Heath Ledger here, to a quick burst of applause and appreciation.  He's using such a large portion of his speech to Ledger's work.  He first goes into the performance from "Monster's Ball," then into "Brokeback Mountain," calling the performance "perfect."  He didcates his win tonight to the fallen actor.  Cheers, Daniel.  Just...cheers.
6:51 p.m. -- Daniel Day-Lewis.  Shocked?
6:50 p.m. -- Best Actor.  Shouts and murmurs for Hirsch, Mortensen and, of course, Day-Lewis.  And the actor goes to...
6:48 p.m. -- Suddenly it occured to me.  Tom Cruise will be presenting Best Cast in a Motion Picture.  Might it be a big ole Scientology love fest, Cruise handing the goods over to John Travolta and company?  Icky...

Commercial Break

6:43 p.m. -- Tommy Lee Jones doesn't even seem to understand the plot of "No Country for Old Men" as he intrpduces the clip.
6:40 p.m. -- Even Viggo looked a little surprised there.  I think, as do a few of my colleagues, that at least one of these old-timers is going to triumph on Oscar night.  Either Hal Holbrook or Ruby Dee, that is.  I expect maybe Dee is the one to watch now, and if the lead categories go as we all expect them to go, watch out for a 4/4 match-up with Oscar.
6:39 p.m. -- FINALLY a slight surprise.  Ruby Dee takes the win.
6:38 p.m. -- Man, I know Viggo is gonna take some hits for that ensemble, but he looks like a sweet pimp in those clothes.  The goatee is the perfect touch.  He's presenting Best Supporting Actress.  And the actor goes to...
6:36 p.m. -- Another montage from our friend Mr. Underwood.  Where's he doing that from, some underground bunker?  Anyway, I've lost the theme of these clip packages.  Ooh!  Viggo Mortensen...

Commercial Break

6:30 p.m. -- Indeed, Ledger pops up at the end of the montage in a brief shot from "Brokeback Mountain."  Very respectful whistles and applause.
6:26 p.m. -- Josh Brolin waltzes on out looking like the coolest dude in the room and offers up the In Memoriam package.  I think it will include Heath, perhaps at the end.  There's been no mention of Mr. Ledger yet.
6:21 p.m. -- Mickey Rooney comes out, decorated like an army general.  He spoke so long I didn't even realize he was handing out an award.  It's Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series.  The actor goes to Queen Latifah.  She beat out some distinguished competition there.  And there's something funny about Mickey Rooney saying "Miss Latifah?"
6:19 p.m. -- Ben Foster comes out to introduce the "3:10 to Yuma" clip.  Love that score.  LOVE IT.
6:17 p.m. -- I never saw "The Company."  I need to pop it in the DVD player here soon because, "Jack Frost " or not," Michael Keaton is the bomb.  But it seems Kevin Kline took the cake this evening instead.

Commercial Break

6:13 p.m. -- Boy, Durning's speech really hit the right notes with that crowd.
6:05 p.m. -- Here's Burt Reynolds to talk Durning up some more and give him the Lifetime kudos.  It's actually quite a sincere little speech.  But boy, those eyes are bloodshot.
6:02 p.m. -- Oh yeah!  Durning rocked in "Dog Day Afternoon."
5:56 p.m. -- Denis Leary kicks ass.  "Heloo, friendos.  I'm here to honor my good friend Charles Durning."  Awesome.
5:55 p.m. -- Here's the suit, offering the requisite guild rhetoric.
5:53 p.m. -- Blair Underwood introduces another montage.  At least they're keeping them fairly short.

Commercial Break

5:48 p.m. -- Jenna Fischer, will you marry me?  (How quickly I move on from Marion.)
5:46 p.m. -- "The Office," thank god, takes the ensemble award away from "30 Rock."  I miss that show more and more every week.
5:43 p.m. -- Ruby Dee gets a hell of an applause as she graces the stage to present the "American Gangster" clip.  Maybe she'll win the award for supporting actress?
5:42 p.m. -- Alec Baldwin wins as well.  See next entry.
5:39 p.m. -- Tina Fey wins for a show, the love for which I don't think I'll ever understand.  First mention, I think, of support for the WGA.

Commercial Break

5:31 p.m. -- It's too bad Holbrook wasn't given the opportunity to grace the stage for this performance, but there's always the Oscars.  But Bardem's speech was nonetheless inexpectedly beautiful.
5:29 p.m. -- Javier Bardem
5:28 p.m. -- Marion Cotillard -- strike that -- the beautiful, hope she'll marry me, Marion Cotillard presents Best Supporting Actor.  Big cheer on Holbrook's clip.  And the actor goes to...
5:26 p.m. -- Emile Hirsch and Hal Holbrook get on stage to present the "Into the Wild" clip.  Nice applause.  The tracking of "Guaranteed" over the clip just makes you wonder, yet again, what the hell is wrong with the Academy's music branch.
5:25 p.m. -- Has A3 just been living off the risiduals of "Woke Up This Morning" for the past 8 years?  I know I would.
5:23 p.m. -- Yet another TV award (didn't they used to get some feature stuff in there early on?), and this one is Best Drama Ensemble.  And the winner -- pardon me -- and the actor goes to...(these clips are way too long)...the cast of "The Sopranos."  Hat trick.
5:18 p.m. -- Blair Underwood introduces the first of what looks to be a series of clips celebtrating the 75 year history of the organization.  This one is about the small group of "courageous" actors came together to form the union, yada yada, yada...

Commercial Break

5:12 p.m. -- Another win for "The Sopranos."  Falco says, "This was so not supposed to happen."  Yeah it was, Edie.
5:10 p.m. -- The first clip of the evening is for "Hairpray," presented by John Travolta and an as always bubbly Nikki Blonsky.  If it wins this award...weird.
5:07 p.m. -- Gandolfini takes the win for "The Sopranos."  Totally anticipated, right?  Given the denoument of the series.
