So there we have it. Movieville.org’s first Academy Award picks. So it wasn’t THAT bad, I got 6 correct of the 19 listed. Ahem. never mind, to be completely honest though, some of them I felt I should change after I wrote the post, but it wouldn’t have seemed fair. Not so bad. To see the rest of the winners I haven’t listed here, clicky.
The Hurt Locker deservedly took away the Best Picture award, although Avatar had its ‘prime rib’ moments, there were too many elements that were stacked against Cameron & Avatar. Like his past with Bigelow. Zing. Seriously though, whether any of the films won or not, each film has the power to capture an individual’s attention, and these awards are merely an ego booster. I kid.
Until next time,
