I didn't watch the Oscars last night as I was far more tempted to watch "In The Loop" than to watch a list of thank yous and tears.
I did catch the results on the news and my, how the BBCs stock has fallen over the years. In the past, they would get interviews with winners and big stars but this time they had a hard time even collaring the scriptwriters of An Education for one. And when the on the spot reporter says "and there, in the background, you might be able to make out Alec Baldwin....here he comes...let's see if we can get a response from him.......no, he's gone" you know the Beeb are just the really poor kid allowed to sniff the dessert tray as it's wheeled past them. And because it was the "proper" BBC and the breakfast news, they kept referring to Inglorious Basterds as just plain Inglorious as if none of us ever saw the gazillions of posters for the movie up and down the country when it was on release.
Anyway, I'm glad Avatar didn't win because if it had it would have really dragged the awards down to the level of the Eurovision Song Contest in terms of credibility. As for the acting wins, it seemed like "OK, it's your turn to win" even though I'm a huge Jeff Bridges fan. Not an outstanding year in terms of the quality of the movies nominated but I think the best of an OK bunch won.
