Bare with us … this wasn’t easy to edit and even less so to remember exactly what we were talking about, but we’ve done our best. Come along, if you dare, to fawn over Kate Winslet with us.
6:00 PM
Kristine: I don't think I've ever actually watched the red carpet from start to finish like this
Andrea: I have. Sadly, the Oscars are usually an all-day event for me lol
6:03 PM: E! alien princess Giuliana Rancic announces that Nicole and Joel are having a second kid.

Kristine: As much as I don't want to like it, I do
6:11 PM: Jay Manuel from America’s Next Top Model is announced as E!’s style guru

Andrea: He does!
Andrea: I have a feeling this is gonna be the weirdest Oscars ever..lots of musical numbers and such
Kristine: Do you think MIA will be here? Did they get her to confirm?

Andrea: Ryan promotes his freakin radio show on E!..he’s like the king of cross-promotion
6:40 PM: E! talks about how the Oscar parties have been toned down in the wake of the recession. This is, of course, less than two hours before the Academy unveils its curtain made entirely of Swarovski Crystals.
Andrea: Yea I'm sure Hollywood is thinking about the recession right now..riiight
Kristine: Their lives must be so hard
Kristine: I can't imagine what it must be like to be rich in times like these
Andrea: I'd feel guilty
Kristine: Yeah but the being rich part would ease that pain
Andrea: exactly it doesn't mean I'm actually gonna give my money AWAY
Kristine: If Hollywood is so big on going green, why haven’t anyone thought to get a shuttle for this event…look at all those cars backed up

Kristine: Oh look, it's a big group hug
Kristine: "We're all so famous and talented. We love our lives"
Kristine: the Slumdog actors seem genuinely to be enjoying themselves, though
Andrea: I think they're dating in real life
Kristine: damn she shot him down cause he's too young
Andrea: haha aww, I think they're lying
Kristine: probably
Andrea: why is John Legend there?
Kristine: haven't a breeze
6:54 PM: Random shots of actors arriving to the ceremony
