Soooo, the immediate reaction,
I was 17-7 for the awards, 3 of the ones I got wrong were the 3 shorts, just a strikeout. The other three was because I took for granted Alice In Wonderland. I guessed that the Academy would want to honor great movies, since they would be branded with the "Academy Award Winning" branding. Now we can go to our local closing blockbuster and add the "Academy Award Winning Alice in Wonderland" to our massive DVD or budding Blu-Ray collections. Also, The King's Speech for Original Score was a bit of an outside pick, so that was the topping insult to my dessert of injury.
But enough being hard on myself, I got ALL of the major awards right. EW and all the vegas knuckleheads favored (I mean FAVORED) David Fincher for Best Director. I know a certain Live Action Short Film title to help sum up my feelings...
NAWEWE (or NAWAAAYWAAAAYY).
So I probably did better than average, despite my shortcomings in the short categories. Also, The King's Speech made it exciting till the end, although I was hoping for a huge outside surprise, mirroring Adrian Brody's win in 2003.
I'll be back tomorrow to wrap up the season, until then, all the winners are posted in the OSCARs section, and I hope you all are having a good time watching Tom Hanks on Jimmy Kimmell.
It's Midnight in Hollywood, but no one is sleeping, not even a mouse, all the gifts have already been passed out to the nice, all that's left is the naughty.
