The Oscars

[RStar]

Okay, I know that Hollywood can be a bloated bunch of Baboons at times (sorry, I don't mean to degrade our primate friends), but I love the movies so I enjoy seeing the Academy Awards.

I found it to be much more intertaining than last year, and Ellen did a great job hosting. I really loved it when she worked the audience and particularly when she wanted a picture with Clint Eastwood, so she had Steven Spielberg take it. "Make sure it's lined up, Steven!"

Anyway, there must be at least a few players here. How'd you do on your predictions?

I got 12 out of 24, exactly 50% right. I didn't get a chance to see all of the films, The Last King Of Scotland, Babel, Little Miss Sunshine, Marie Antoinette, and Letters From Iwo Jima mainly. So when those won, I had no idea what their chances were in the first place.

I thought Leo would get for Blood Diamond. Leading Actor, but Forest got it for Last King. And it was nice to see Martin finally get one with The Departed, which got 4 total. He said it was the first film he did with a plot!
