My Thoughts

• I hit 50%. Pathetic. 12/24.
• The ceremony itself wasn't bad. Macfarlane did okay. Best joke of the night was his non-introduction of Meryl Streep.
• A tie? Does this mean I get full credit or half credit? I'm giving myself full to get up to 50%.
• Biggest Disappointments: Brave for Animated Feature & Life of Pi for Cinematography - not because it didn't deserve it, but because it means Roger Deakins lost again, this time for Skyfall.
• Biggest Surprises: Both Django wins. I didn't expect Waltz to beat all the other nominees in his category, since he was the most recent winner of the bunch. Plus, Tarantino taking screenplay was a surprise. I just didn't think the Academy liked the movie that much.
• Life of Pi went home the biggest winner volume-wise, taking home four awards.
• Lincoln was nominated for twelve Oscars. It won two. Two.

That's it. See you next year.
