6:52: ES: Only when he's wearing a red or purple pleather jumpsuit.
6:51: SC: Is he really a comedian?
6:50: ES: See -- he is making voices. Just not funny ones.
6:48: ES: Look -- Barbara can barely laugh because of her Botox. Ouch.
6:47: ES: I have the sudden urge to watch a Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Story right now.
6:38: SC: Switching over to the E! red carpet horror, we learn that Ryan Seacrest hasn't even seen most of the films nominated for Best Picture. Case and point: Earlier, he asked Gael Garcia Bernal if he enjoyed working with Brad Pitt in "Babel." "Wait -- you weren't in any scenes with him? Well, what did you think of him anyways?" That's cool you were in a movie with one of America's biggest stars ..." I hate him.
6:32: ES: Eddie Murphy's up next. Let's see how many funny voices Barbara can convince him to do. Tears and funny voices -- they're like currency to Barbara. It's how she pays for the foamy glow that covers her cameras.
6:30: ES: When did Helen Mirren become Traci Lords? Could Barbara use the word “sexual” more often? The special has taken a turn from depressing to creepy. It’s starting to feel more like a first date than an Oscar interview.
6:30: SC: "Our relationship in the beginning was physical." -- Taylor Hackford, Helen Mirren's husband. To the point.
6:29: ES: Note to self: According to Barbara, nudity puts actresses on the map. I guess "map" means "Internet."
6:24: ES: So far, we’ve learned about Ellen’s sexual abuse and unemployment troubles. How neither American Idol nor Jennifer Hudson's boyfriend wanted to commit to her. Why are these things always so depressing? I’d rather be watching "Schindler’s List."
6:19 p.m.: ES: Sorry -- technical difficulties. Mostly due to the fact that my eyes were bleeding from the sight of Barbara’s dress. But we’re back.
All right, Insiders -- it's time to blog Barbara Walter's Oscar Special.
