And the winners are...

Last night as you know was the 82nd Academy Awards hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. I think Steve and Alec did a god job last night and at times were actually pretty funny.
Anyways, While I was surprised on few of the winners,I was also expecting most of the awards to go to The Hurt Locker...and I was right.
A couple things I got out of last night.
1. Quentin Tarantino STILL doesnt get the respect he deserves for his creative brilliance. He should have gotten best original screenplay.
2.Im glad Jeff Bridges FINNALLY got an Oscar
3. Surprised Meryl Streep didnt win and Sandra Bullock did
4. Im happy that The Hurt Locker got best picture. I've seen 8 out of the 10 noms and I think The Hurt Locker( and I saw back in June of last year) was the best 'all around' movie
