And here we go.7:48: The show starts in a few minutes. Will it be all about Slumdog? Based on the red carpet, it certainly seems like it. Even the little kids are there-you know, the ones that the producers are accused of underpaying. Many, many of the people on the red carpet said they are involved in a big dance number, and they all look really nervous. This should be fun. Get a refresher on what to expect here.... read more

As we said in our Grammy Predictions, we have a love/hate relationship with the Grammys. But hey, we love music, so we're watching to see what happens. Could be a big year for Lil Wayne (did you see his interview with "Miss" Katie Couric?). Could be a controversial night if Coldplay's alleged Joe Satriani rip-off grabs some hardware ("Viva La Vida" by Coldplay and Satriani's "If I Could Fly"). But plenty of great artists are nominated (M.I.A., Allison Krauss/Robert Plant, Radiohead, Gnarls Barkley, Daft Punk, Brazilian Girls....we could go on), so as always, it'll be worth watching, especially for the... read more

It's always frustrating when there are two really important television events are happening at the same time and you don't have one of those cool TVs from the '90s with the screen-within-a-screen. I hear they've come out with something called a "DVR" for these situations, but I don't think it would even be compatible with the ancient television my wife and I inherited from her grandmother several years ago. Instead, I've got to rely on the remote control with my instinct alone to guide me. Tonight, the Project Runway finale is on at the same time as the final presidential... read more

Tonight, Mötley Crüe, the most important band in the world, will present the most important announcement ever. This is not hyperbole. This is fact. The band has already revolutionized music, literature, and umlaut usage, so it’s safe to say that its upcoming announcement foretells something greater. Will Mötley Crüe be the first band to colonize space? Will it finally resolve tensions in the Middle East? Will it reverse global climate change with an innovative cap-and-trade policy? At 7 PM, all will be revealed. Stay tuned as Paste brings you a live blog of the most important announcement ever. 6:50: The... read more

The Plug Awards celebrate some of the most left field media presences and entertainers that the indie-cool subconscious (or online voters) has picked for recognition. There’s no doubt that independent media gained a true home on the binary frontier, and The Plug Awards might as well be called The Online Hipster Procrastination Awards, because most of the nominees make a living doing just that. And quite frankly, it’s a beautiful thing. Having radio and the recording industry make the big online transition with the bandwidth to back it has given all media, from Clear Water to Caribou, an equal playing... read more

Hey all you Paste readers out there. Before things start, and to help me get a hang of how the blogging system we use actually works, I thought I’d give a few general thoughts on the event in anticipation. -Awards: I expect No Country for Old Men to win the big prize, Day-Lewis to win best actor, and the Coens to nab the directing prize. It seems I’m not the only one who feels this way and these aren’t particularly revolutionary ideas. Because of this, it’s going to be the smaller stuff that’s actually interesting this year. Assuming that there’s... read more
