So the Oscars is over for another year, and it’s another year where I haven’t seen any of the films up for any of the awards (bar Transformers and Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End). I’m tight, so I refuse to spend £6 to go to the cinema (which reminds me, I’m majorly peeved that Odeon have decided not to show the new Rambo film - I was looking forward to that!).

It struck me whilst watching that there’s at least a couple of categories that could be gotten rid of. Sound mixing and sound editing are nearly the same thing (well, they’re in the same ballpark anyway), and surely they could combine the two screenplay categories? The actual ceremony seems to drag on for hours, so I wish they’d at least consider combining categories.

This is a minor quibble though!

I don’t think there were any big suprises this year, and the only person I wanted to win anything (Javier Bardem) actually won - which was nice.

Jon Stewart did a great job as host, but it would be nice to see the Academy try out someone else - personally, I’d give Jerry Seinfeld a shot or perhaps Steve Carrell. Maybe next year.

The highlight of the whole thing happened BEFORE the awards ceremony began - watch the video to see what I mean.

Got to love the Busey.
