Oscar Winners...As If You Probably Don't Know

Sorry I'm late, but I still feel obligated to post this, especially since Scorsese finally won his Best Director award. History was made indeed. Overall it was a pretty good show. A lot better than the past two years have been. One can only hope Billy Crystal will return next year.
"Pan's Labyrinth" should have won best foriegn film. Dumbasses... Al Gore's work of fiction won documentary... how inconvenient for those who value truth. And I'm a little shocked at the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor wins. Not that I was against the winners, it was just unexpected. You'll get yours one day DiCaprio. Poor Peter O'Toole though. Here's the winners:
