TV critic Neal Justin tweeted Sunday night during the Academy Awards from @nealjustin. Here are some highlights:
7:40 p.m.: There will be a "mystery guest host" about halfway through show. Any guesses? Billy Crystal? Qaddafi?
7:45: Monologue is a stark reminder that comedy shouldn't be left to amateurs.
7:50: Can Tom Hanks do an audible and take over the show. Please?
7:59: What is going to come first -- a resolution in Wisconsin or Kirk Douglas naming the best supporting actress?
8:01: Who would have thought Melissa Leo would be the first to drop the F-bomb. I had my money on Russell Brand.
8:03: Justin Timberlake should have called on his SNL pals to write his material. This is turning into the Night of 1,000 Awkward Pauses.
8:15: Bardem and Brolin dressing like 1970s Steve Martin makes me wish he was back this year.
