AND WE ARE GO! Sorry for the slight delay, we were crying over this:

We see Ryan ‘Pint-sized’  Seacrest is rocking a white tux. Wonder if this is the one he got?

Ps we have TRANSFORMED TheJournal.ie Towers.

(Not in shot, the We Heart Lupita t-shirts)

TheJournal.ie’s very own Michelle is getting in the spirit. Let us know how/where/with who you’re watching. Bonus kudos for pics. Email emer@dailyedge.ie or sinead@thejournal.ie.

Psst do you think this is what haunts Leonardo Di Caprio’s nightmares?

GIVE HIM AN OSCAR ALREADY!

Quick, lob €20 in a card for him.

LIZA HAS ARRIVED!

We can’t wait to get our eyes around 12 Years a Slave Star Lupita Nyong’o on the red carpet. If you’re unsure how to pronounce her name…

As we wait for the big stars to arrive (we’re talking your J-Laws, your Fassbenders, your Ejiofors), we’ve been doing some wondering about awards shows.

Like this:

Like, does Dame Judi Dench have to queue up behind Amy Adams and make small talk?

Here are some more musings about what actually goes on.

Glee’s Kristin Chenoweth on the red carpet.

To us though, she’ll always be Annabeth:

The big celebs are starting to arrive now. Look at Amy Adams surrounded by all those normals.

Our Sinead with an extremely valid point:

FROCKWATCH!

Portia De Rossi’s dress got a lorra love on Twitter but giving it a good look over with an Irish mammy-esque eye it looks a bit see through, no?

Not very first communion appropriate!

Sudeikis and Wilde. Rides. Pure and simple.

The red carpet (and notably Kelly Osbourne’s particular brand of ‘torturing owls’ shrieking) isn’t for everyone:

We asked about the toilets at awards shows, and you answered.

There’s a lovely mental image right there.

LUPITA. LUPITA IS THERE.

LUPITTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

E! has just showed a morto picture of Chiwetel Ejiofor as a kid.

If they were to show ours we would definitely be wearing bowl haircuts and Italia 90 tshirts.

Squareball Squareball

PHARRELL WEARING SHORTS KLAXON!

Ok, everyone relax, the manicam is there.

These are Amy Adams’ paws:

Spit on us Amy

Rides Sudeikis and Wilde being hopelessly cute:

Any signs of Cumberbatch? Is he with The Fass somewhere? Dancing? *crosses fingers*

Lupes talking to Seacrest:

Jared Leto’s hair is down. REPEAT, HIS HAIR IS DOWN.

He also appears to be making his first holy communion.

CUMBERBATCH!

Benedict Cumberbatch has gotten the biggest cheer on the red carpet so far.

Look at him there, deducing away.

Here’s hoping he has a few sherries later:

Bette Midler is singing tonight and she’s on the red carpet. Who wants to gather at the next commercial break to sing Wing Beneath My Wings and have a small but effective weep?

Tumblr Tumblr

Leto. You messer.

Cate Blanchett. She threw some serious shade at the Golden Globes red carpet, giving out yards about having to do the interviews.

Now, at the Oscars, she and Ryan can barely look at each other.

More like Cate CRANKETT! EH?

McConnaughey is also wearing white.

Someone keep him, Leto and Seacrest apart for the rest of the night or else people will keep asking them for drinks and extra forks.

Jennifer Lawrence has just arrived and she has fallen over already.

She’s wearing red, but who really cares. She already went on her snot.

J-Law going on her hole gave us serious Oscars 2013 flashbacks.

Bradley Cooper was nowhere in sight to gallantly help her up. Useless.

J-Law’s fall. The inevitable GIF.

Jared Leto’s ombre hair has its own Twitter account. Of course it does. It’s only right.

She may have gone on her ear but she’s still a ride:

HE’S THERE! And so is the beard! And he brought his mam!

Fassbender and his mam.

Imagine, she’s probably threatened him with the wooden spoon at least once in his life. And told him to turn off the immersion.

It’s happening. It’s happening. Someone get the Mo Money Mo Problems CD.

AP / Press Association Images AP / Press Association Images / Press Association Images

Yep.

@AstonishingSod @AstonishingSod

Bill Murray has arrived. Hero.

If you’re wondering why E! suddenly stopped talking to celebs and started yakking on the phone to people about PRAAAAADAAAAA and VALENTEEEEEENO, it’s because they don’t have the rights to the celebs for the last 3o minutes.

You might get more craic out of it if you switch to Sky Living. We have it on good authority that Angelina has arrived.

Ah LOOKIT! Brad and Ange having the craic.

Will Smith just screamed “THAT’S BONO” across the crowd.

Stay cool man.

Real or waxwork?

AP / Press Association Images AP / Press Association Images / Press Association Images

Bradley Cooper and Jonah Hill’s bromance is giving us all the feels. Come around for some Subbuteo lads.

In saying that, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN J-LAW FELL ON HER EAR COOPER?

Ah look at Dax Shephard and Kristen Bell. Cute b*stards.

This is all getting a bit much.

First we had Fassbender hugging Cumberbatch.

Now we have Fassbender hugging Di Caprio while his ma looks on.

And that’s it. All of the stars are inside, ready for FOUR HOURS of speeches and tears (and those all-important celeb toilet queues).

We’ll leave you with these – quite frankly stunning – photobombs.

Join us over on @DailyEdge and DailyEdge.ie where we’ll be livetweeting the ceremony and brining you the best bits throughout the night.

FassBatch forever! Seacrest out!
