Oscar aftermath

I know I've been absent for 11 days, but that's because I wanted to leave my Oscar predictions up at the top. This was the first time ever that I've had director, both screenplays, actor, actress, supporting actor, and supporting actress correct. The only shock came at the end of the night, when Crash took Best Picture despite having won only film editing and original screenplay up to that point. I thought Brokeback was going to take it easily, since it had director, adapted screenplay and original score. But that's how the voting process in the Academy works and occasionally they throw you a curve ball. Also, as I anticipated, Munich and Good Night and Good Luck were both shut out, even though I was hoping that wouldn't happen.
