Results: 78th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS

It was a very interesitng Oscar night, and while I was a little off with the predictions, I do like the fact that the love was spread around a little instead of letting one film hog all the awards. It was a good show and I think Jon Stewart made a decent host. With my picks, I went 10 for 21… but I protest because King Kong won three more Oscars than it really deserved… but in all a good night for some great movies besides that piece of fluff. So what do you think of who won?

    Well my guesses were mostly wrong. Though I do love that Wallace and Gromit took best animated feature.

    Crash won best picture, you gotta be kidding me. I can’t believe Capote won anything, just hearing an audio clip from that movie yesterday almost put me to sleep.
