I got killed on the shorts – 19/23 is one badass score!

Can’t wait to see what you are forcing/dragging Lindsay to see at the cinema! You should have a poll on it in here…

A disappointing evening. I understand perfectly that Hollywood loved The Artist, but Oscars for score (lifted quite a bit), costuming (wrong Era for some costumes) and direction were a bit much.

I wish I could have had an opinion. Unfortunately it hasn’t been released in Sweden yet.

I’m sure it will hit shortly.

Since The Artist celebrates the studio side of filmmaking at the expense of, well, the artistic side, I’m not surprised to see it take top awards home. It’s a fine enough movie that I’m not all that fussed to see it win Best Picture, either. But the idea that Hazanavicius did a better job directing than Malick, Scorsese, Allen, or Payne is ridiculous, and I don’t understand the decision to give Dujardin Best Actor over Clooney given that the latter’s performance is heads and shoulders above the former’s. (Other than holding the party line, of course.) But it’s just the Oscars, so I’m not losing sleep over it.
Besides, the Screenplay awards went to people I admire and whose work deserved it, and Hugo ate up the big technical awards, so I consider the whole thing even.
