Oh lookie, another Ratatouillie hater. Lovely.

Anybody catch the E3 2006 reference with John Stewart playing Wii Sports during the Oscars? Crazy.

Totally agreed.

Not too many surprises this year, with the exception of maybe Tilda Swinton winning best supporting actress over Cate Blanchett or Amy Ryan. All the big categories were locks, and sure as hell weren't surprises. As nice as it was to see the Coen's win, I would have much rather seen PTA walk away with an Oscar. I love that guy.

Really no surprises in the big categories. There was no way Daniel Day-Lewis was leaving without the Lead Actor Oscar. He made that movie great. Then The Coens for Direction, Javier Bardem for Best Supporting Actor, and No Country for Old Men as best picture is what I expected, as it was my favorite movie of the year.

God damn that was long though.

Alright, we get it. You didn't like Juno. No need to remind everyone. You're like the next Andrew NDB.

Hey, I just thought the script (okay and the soundtrack) was bad. The performances and direction were good.
