Oscar Winners and Observations
Jon Stewart should host the Oscars every year – and know you can’t beat an 11-year-old at Wii tennis.
Even if you are French, as long as you are a hot young actress who “deglams” you’ll always beat out the competition. Congrats Marion Cotillard.
I want a recount on the editing award. Would have loved to have seen the Coens win 4 Oscars in one night.
If Roger Deakins can’t win an Oscar for The Assassination of Jesse James, I can’t imagine what he does have to do to win one.
The gods must be crazy because they gave us Diablo Cody. Her acceptance speech was one of the most heartfelt I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth checking out on YouTube.

I only got 10/21, which is pretty low, but for every one I got wrong, I wasn’t too unhappy with the winner. When did the Academy get taste? Oh yeah. They did give The Bourne Ultimatum three awards. Nevermind.
