Oscar Winners & Partygoers
Wow, what a crazy night. There were a lot of upsetsstarting with three “Bourne Ultimatum” wins, and continuing through to “Taxi From the Darkside” beating “Sicko” and Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton. The Scene-Stealers Oscar Party was fantastic; thanks to everybody who helped out, and congratulations to Betsy Hatch, who picked most of those upsets and cleaned up, winning all the cash last night! We should have the online ballots tallied some time tomorrow. There are a crap-ton to go through, so the competition will be very stiff for the Netfliz subscription!
Huge thanks go out from J.D. and myself to Dustin Schirer, Ryan Dambro, Nick Colby, John Davis, Megan Dambro, Josh Longbottom, Phil Plante, and Dana Collins for putting in a lot of time and effort to make a big event like this happen. You are amazing, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Okay, so “Juno” didn’t win Best Picture like I predicted. That’s good, I didn’t really want it to win, I just thought I’d call an upset so that if it actually did happen, I could say I called it. Instead, I’m a satisfied and happy movie fan who loves the fact that dark, strange movies like “No Country for Old Men” and “There Will Be Blood” took home as many as they did.Joel and Ethan Coen’s meditative thriller _No Country for Old Men_ won Best Picture and three other statues at the 80th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night. _There Will Be Blood_, which, like _No Country for Old Men_ entered the evening with eight nominations apiece, picked up two awards.
