Oscarvations 2010 Edition

The dynamic duo experiment worked. A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was no better or worse than in years past. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin are generally great with comedy. The lowlight was the opening monologue. Including Neil Patrick Harris was fun. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him host one of these years.

My faith in the world (at least the film industry) is restored. A lot of awesome and deserving movies got recognition this year. The Hurt Locker wins best picture. The best film won, and not the one that made the most money. Crazy Avatar nerds everywhere are now blogging/tweeting/buzzing with vitriol.

Katherine Bigelow wins best director for Hurt Locker. Bigelow is James Cameron's ex-wife. She is really hot for a 59 year old woman. Her win was probably the big wow moment of this year's show.
