Since live-blogging the Oscars is almost a must this year, RUSSIA! has decided to live-blog Russia-related references at the ceremony. There must be at least one!?

If you happen to come across something interesting, do post.

10.00: Russian films did not make it into this year's top foreign films. Very sad. It must be an anti-Russian conspiracy (a theory seriously considered by many in that country).

10.30: Aha! The Leo Tolstoy joke. Thank you very much.

23.50: This concludes our Russian Oscars live-blogging session. Did we miss something?
