Thirteen out of twenty-four. Could be worse.

Short categories and sound editing/mixing killed me on this one as I imagine it did for most. I thought Avatar would take more of the technical awards but The Hurt Locker (perhaps rightfully) claimed those as well. Congratulations to Bigelow of course, and to The Hurt Locker for a well-deserved Best Picture Oscar in a relatively weak year. It’s still a powerful film nevertheless.

Broadcast itself was a shit-show disaster. But would we expect any less from Hollywood?
