News -- 2008 Academy Awards

The Oscars are now a thing of the past. This is good for everyone who is tired of wondering who will win and all the people who felt guilty and ran to the theaters to watch these old movies and made some good movies that just released see bad box office sales (RAMBO). And the winners are...

Really for me, the fact that the academy gave so many wins to No Country For Old Men is ridiculous. I loved this film, and I love the Coen's (think Big Lebowski), but I really felt that There Will Be Blood would gather more attention from the classically anti-Coen academy. However, besides my disappointment for all the snubs with Transformers (DAMMIT!), I was not very surprised tonight. I was delighted that Atonement, which sucked, won practically nothing and Juno which really wasn't THAT great, won the only award it should have (go Diablo!).

Jon Stewart is the man, Gary Busey is psychopathic and Hilary Swank is still not hot. That sums up the Oscars. Check it out next year.

P.S. There Will Be Blood won the GoodenoughFilms.com Oscar Poll with No Country For Old Men in a close second. Thanks for voting!

P.P.S. I lost my Oscar pool with 16 out of 24 correct by 1 selection and got second place for a measly 7.5 times the amount I put in (tee hee ... $$$$). I cannot believe they did Transformers so rotten! Love to Ron Fierstein for setting up the pool.
