THE 82nd ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS

 
This could have possibly been the most torturous 3 hours I have ever sat through in my life. Why? Because for the first time in 7 years, I couldn't watch the Oscars live thanks to some stupid news design lecture. And I wasn't even paying attention in the bloody class. I was like glued to the Internet refreshing imdb every 10 seconds to see who won the Oscars.
But anyway, the ceremony this year is history making. One being that Kathryn Bigelow became the first female director to ever win the Best Director award beating out her ex-husband James Cameron and his movie Avatar which only picked up 3 Oscars while The Hurt Locker won 6 including Best Picture.

The acting awards went to the predictables. Christoph Waltz won for Inglorious Basterds, Mo'Nique for Precious, Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart and Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side. One a sad note... District 9 won zilch. Booooo!
