The Actual Oscar Results Thread

[Buscemi]

Really? There was on all the adverts over here and when it was released in cinemas...

Must be a New Zealand thing. In North America (and probably most other places), there is no exclaimation point in the title.

Avatar

completing its collection for the visual effects Oscars.

You mean Abadah.

You mean Abadah.

For our resident Austrians and Governator's, that too.

Should Avatar even be eligible (due to the movie being 60% motion capture)?

I agree. If it's all CGI, how would cinematography even come into play?

[Buscemi]

Plus, it takes away from the true winner (Inglourious Basterds).

[silversurfer19]

Matt Damon presents (and for once no Michael Moore):

Best Documentary Feature

Burma VJ
The Cove
Food, Inc.
The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg and The Pentagon Papers
Which Way Home

And the winner is...

The Cove

[frendo]

The Cove was good, but had nothing on Capitalism: A Love Story.

[Shrykespeare]

Good for Fisher Stevens. Not bad for a guy whose biggest movie roles were in Short Circuit 2 and Hackers.

Tyler Perry to present:

Best Achievement In Editing

Avatar
District 9
The Hurt Locker
Inglorious Basterds
Precious

And the award goes to...

[Buscemi]

Fisher Stevens is also a somewhat successful producer, having produced and acted in several indie films over the past decade.

The Hurt Locker

Again...

[Buscemi]

One of the biggest locks of the night. More footage was shot for The Hurt Locker than any other movie in film history.

[Shrykespeare]

Wow. I am now convinced that between Cameron and Bigelow, one will win Best Director and the OTHER will win Best Picture.
