Keanu had about 15 seconds of screen time. In order to see that, I watched over 7 hours of stuff. The entire show, plus all the pre-show/red carpet stuff. Keanu-fan and proud of it, that's me. *grins wryly* I'm a bit obsessed, I guess. But then, so are most of us - we wouldn't be here otherwise, right?

Me too, and still I haven't nmanaged to see him presenting The Hurt Locker. But I've seen a couple of interviews, and that's something!

I'm a little obsessed as well. I too watched the whole thing. I saw the E! interview with Ryan Seacrest live as it was happening but I would love to see it again. Anyone know where I can find it? I tried the E! website and youtube without any luck finding it.

Desperation? Hah, I beat you all! I don't have satellite or cable (in fact, I only use my tv to watch dvd's), so I had to watch the whole thing on the internet. Set my alarm clock to go off at 01:45 AM because the schedule said it'd start at 2 AM GMT+1. But NO! The red carpet live feed at oscars.com *ended* at 2 AM, and there was *NO* live feed of the actual show!

So I tried Ustream and a bunch of other sites, but eventually had to pay for a pro account at justin.tv to see anything at all. And then -- you won't believe this but it's true -- the site suffered a DOS attack!! Yes, a Denial Of Service attack, where someone floods the site with incoming traffic to crash it. I got to see the pitifully few seconds of Keanu on stage, but then the feed crashed and I missed Sandra and Kathryn's appearances. Fortunately, I still caught most of Sandra's speech because a user on justin.tv was streaming a webcam feed with the camera pointed at his tv screen. The guy sat there drinking beer and burping loudly, but at least I got to see Sandra.

I was so tired after the long night, combined with a bad cold, that I skipped work on Monday. I work 50% so I went to work on Tuesday instead.

So -- desperation? That's my middle name!

Oh dear. I sympathize with you, inkhuldra. I know how you feel sometimes. For me, when there is a bad storm, BOTH my internet and my satellite tv go down. No fun. *pats inkhuldra on the shoulder* It'll be all right.

Oh, the pain! The agony! I've been on the internet since 1993. Losing tv is no problem, losing cellphone network is a bit of a bother, but losing my internet connection is panic-inducing. AAAAAAAAAA!

Wanna kill me? Take me off the internet. I'd die in less than 5 minutes.

You've been on the internet for over 17 years? Wow. Can definitely understand the panic.

I discovered the internet only in 2003 and started posting heavily only somewhere in 2006... but I can understand that panic.

Ink, if there were an Oscar for desperation... it would be yours. ;)
