I saw a headline today that read: "Younger Audience Still Eludes the Oscar's." Which lead me to react with: "No shit, the Oscar's have nothing to do with movies that people have actually seen." Now, maybe that comment is a bit premature cause I know lots of people went to go see The Fighter and Black Swan. But then again, who actually saw The King's Speech or Winter's Bone? And at the same time, the Oscar's tend to have awards that make no sense or value no importance to anyone. Best Sound Mixing? Best Original Song?
Nonetheless, the Oscar's did happen last night. For those who saw, why are you even reading this?! For those who didn't, here is a list of winners and losers:
