2010 Oscar Winners

The Oscars are done and I'm in agreement with almost everything.  However, I can't speak for the Hurt Locker as I haven't seen it yet.  Netflix is queued up though!  I am happy to see Avatar only receive the awards that it deserved, and that James Cameron did not receive Best Director.  I was a little disappointed that Up In The Air did not receive an award, but it's not a big deal.  I do wonder how close Up! got in receiving the Best Picture award or if Nine was closer.  In any case, this was a good year!  Below are the results....
