The winners and losers of the 80th annual Academy Awards
I’ll admit it, I didn’t even know the Oscars were happening tonight. When you’ve dealt with them before, know people who have been there, and have been coerced into supporting the writers during the writer’s strike by ignoring any and all Oscar news things slip by. That being said, they did happen tonight. I didn’t watch it, so I don’t have any amazing insight or thoughts on Jon and how he did, or how the performances went, but I will say this: There Will be Blood got robbed, the foreign category had horrible nominees (again), and I can think of several animated films from Europe and Japan which are better than Pixar’s latest, but weren’t even nominated.
To get the full list of the winners and losers for tonight (sans the people who spent weeks preparing for it) hit the jump.
