Oscar, minute by minute

 

Ready for "Hugh at the Piano," a 2008 recap of a bunch of movies that didn't make it to the Oscars but that made a whole lot more money than the nominees, and a five-part storytelling format?

Then you're all set for Sunday night's three-hour-plus telecast of the "81st Annual Academy Awards."

So say the production notes for the live show, according to Cinemascope (via Carpetbagger) that has the first acting award (for best supporting) handed out at 5:45 p.m. and best director, lead actor and actress and best film bringing up the rear starting at 8:14 p.m. and lasting until the giant cast of "Slumdog Millionaire" is played off stage with a rousing white-guy orchestral rendition of "Jai Ho."

For those who'd like to plan their snack breaks ahead of time and don't care much about the various below-the-line honors like sound mixing and makeup, this rundown is pure gold. For the rest of us, it gives decent insight into the expected flow of things.

Still can't determine the real heart and tone of the show yet. But it looks to be montage-lite. Hooray!
