And by live from the red carpet we mean live from the red carpet in our pj’s, on our couches, with snacks. Let the games begin.
6:00pm Sweet Jesus what is Seacrest wearing? A black suit with brown trim? In what parallel universe is this a good idea? Has he no access to GQ? Think man, we beg of you, WWNPHD? We don’t care if this is Dolce & Gabbana, we’re looking at a black on black shirt/tie combination.
6:13pm Oh snap, Kimora is here, get ready for some crazy. Aside from her wearing all of South Africa’s diamonds, she looks surprisingly almost subdued in her long navy dress.
6:22pm Heidi Klum is in a nice Cayenne dress. Strapless with some sort of cute bolero that perhaps we’d be mocking if this weren’t Heidi Klum. Seal has a really fabulous accent. Wait a minute, they just panned down. This dress has some kind of fish-tail cape situation which leaves us feeling confused and a little bit hurt.
6:51pm Jason Bateman wearing the standard tux and of course, it’s hard to go wrong with that. Sidenote: why do we love the Batemans, Jason and/or Justine, so much. PH: do you want to weigh in on that one?
6:52pm There are a LOT of one shoulder dresses this year. Toga style.
7:09pm Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson is here. Irrelevant.
7:14pm Amy Adams is doing an amazing forest green perhaps a redhead cliché but still, it’s working. Ah yes, Proenza Schouler. Love it.
7:21pm Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner in black. Yawn. I’d have fallen asleep completely except for some awkwardness involving Gary Busey. Or Nick Nolte. One can never tell the difference.
7:47pm Kimora and Giuliana DePandi Rancic are hating on Amy Adams dress. And they’re wrong, obviously.
7:58pm Renee Zellweger looks uncomfortable with her hair. Awkward.
8:12pm John Travolta looks like he’s wearing a hair helmet. His wife is wearing an interesting orangey-yellow which would've been better if it weren't so derivative of Michelle Williams in 2006.
8:19pm Helen Mirren is wearing rhinestone sleeves. Mistake.
8:20pm Both Daniel Day Lewis and Johnny Depp are doing this same black/brown suit situation. We're going to hate seeing this proliferate.
8:27pm Juno (Ellen Page) is wearing black, she looks like herself which we find refreshing.
And the Oscar goes to…

We Love Neil Patrick Harris
We all need role models and who better than the original blogger himself, Doogie Howser, M.D. Doogie, in all his precocious glory, was at the helm of one of the best of the "lost" sitcoms of the 80s i.e. one's that were not beaten to death by the syndication horse. Really, what's not to love, a 16 year old doctor who actually has compassion and a sense of humor and only mildly grazes the lovable end of the nerd spectrum.
Can you say suspension of disbelief?
Dr. Douglas Howser was adeptly played by Neil Patrick Harris whom we have grown to love more and more over the years.
Clearly Mr. Patrick Harris has grown into a healthy sense of style (and hair products) and has made said transition remarkably better than his peers (see: Fred Savage). He's made such a reasonably smooth transition in the world of celebrity and child stardom even in the face of such obstacles such as coming out and self parody (although the cameo in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle was hilarious), it has come to the point that whenever we get stuck, we the aesthetes, always ask ourselves what would Neil Patrick Harris do (WWNPHD)? Certainly, this catchy acronym is a clear adaptation of the much more common WWTBFCD (what would the Barefoot Contessa Do)? Look out for WWNPHD bracelets and t-shirts coming soon to a mall near you.
Phat Tony Addendum: We wish that any sort of recent appearances he has made on the world's stage (anything having to do with "How I Met Your Mother," coming out of the closet, etc.) actually improved our opinion of him... However, combine his Doogie beginnings with his Christina Aguilera-esque vocal riffing-con-finger jiggle in "Undercover Brother," and he has already reached a zenith that is virtually uncalled for in the magical world of AQoT. WWNPHD, indeed...
