In the embedded video window up above, you can watch an ongoing feed of the backstage happenings at the 15th Annual Critics' Choice Awards. And down below we've got the running live blog, bringing you news, opinion and humor in micro-sized bites throughout the show. Let's get started, shall we?
11:15pm And that's it for the show. Good night everybody! Thanks for hanging!
11:12pm "The Hurt Locker" takes Best Picture. Not a surprise at all.
11:10pm Ah... sweet montage.
11:09pm Susan Sarandon presenting Best Picture. It always cracks me up that she was in "Rocky Horror Picture Show."
11:03pm And Meryl Streep of course. Always a winner.
11:02pm Way to go Sandra. You'll always be Lenina Huxley to me.
11:01pm No, seriously... a tie?
10:58pm A... tie?
10:57pm It would be so nice to see Gabourey Sidibe win. Her performance was phenomenal.
10:50pm Jeff Bridges is really enjoying himself tonight.
10:49pm He's the Dude. The Coopers will forgive him.
10:47pm The Dude abides. Like he told us, "I dig being dug, man."
10:45pm And we're back, to honor the Best Actor with Vera Farmiga.
10:39pm WOW, congrats to Kathryn Bigelow. "The Hurt Locker" put the hurt on "Avatar." I'll let the subtext speak for itself.
10:38pm Is that plum-colored suit also velvet? Only Sam Jackson can pull that off.
10:37pm That website is www.sixdegrees.org
10:33pm In all seriousness, it's always a good time to honor Kevin Bacon. Always.
10:31pm I know it was a Kevin Bacon thing, but did a "River Wild" reference really just air live on national television?
10:29pm That's more blood than there was in both "Twilight" movies together. Anna Kendrick looks... bemused.
10:23pm Three for "Inglourious." The critics DO love Quentin.
10:21pm "Up in the Air," naturally.
10:18pm Hahahahaha... "Avatar" wins so many, it needs to be announced in a block. Four for King Cameron. Long live the King.
10:16pm Oh yeah... "Hot Tub Time Machine" is pure win.
10:15pm No, you shouldn't keep talking. Please don't keep talking.
10:11pm I guessed wrong. "The Cove" is no slouch either. Well done.
10:09pm I'm guessing "Anvil: The Story of Anvil."
10:08pm Who saw "Crazy Heart"? What did you think? Sound off in the comments... I've missed this one so far.
10:06pm I have no idea what to expect from this category. None. I liked Karen O.'s work on "Wild Things" though.
9:59pm "Black Dynamite" wasn't nominated, sadly. I wanted "Zombieland," but I'll accept "The Hangover."
9:58pm Sarah Silverman everyone. Keeping things awkward since she was first put on this Earth.
9:57pm And now she's dancing like a sweet Nazi. Lovely.
9:56pm ...
9:54pm Two for "Inglourious." And Christoph DEFINITELY deserved it. His performance ranks up among the best of Tarantino's characters.
9:52pm Christoph Waltz, if only for the opening scene on the milk farm.
9:45pm I kinda dig this cover. Very minimalist.
9:43pm Great, now I'm gonna be up all night watching "Ferris Bueller," "Vacation," "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"...
9:41pm Okay, I approve of a John Hughes tribute.
9:40pm I wonder if she'll address that whole awkward "accent" moment.
9:39pm Max Records, please. He deserves it.
9:38pm Was that an "Orphan" reference?
9:32pm I always approve of Stevie Wonder covers. Always.
9:31pm No balloons?! That seemed like a gimme.
9:30pm "Up" was my favorite animated flick of last year. I've yet to see "Mr. Fox" though.
9:27pm "Avatar" won. And hey, look, lights still brighten darkened areas.
9:25pm Best Action Movie. When something blows up, everybody wins. I wonder which one WILL win. No I don't.
9:23pm I guess the Na'vi kinda looked like Smurfs.
9:16pm Damn straight.
9:15pm Mo'Nique is the key reason I thought "Precious" deserved Best Acting Ensemble.
9:14pm Classy. Haiti shout.
9:10pm Wow. "Inglourious" for Best Acting Ensemble. I can't say I'm disappointed.
9:08pm "Precious" deserves it, no question.
9:07pm Aw... look at the happy fictional couple. Y'all saw "The Hangover," right?
9:05pm Hey Ken Jeong. America thanks you.
9:04pm ...
9:02pm Show of hands... who thought they were going to burn the house down for real?
9:01pm QT has a message for the critics. I'm scared.
8:47pm T-minus 12 minutes and counting
