It got Best Art direction.
Disappointments
TWBB not getting more awards. I haven’t even seen it, but I’m a bigger fan of PT Anderson than of the Coens. Ratatouille’s win was pretty much set in stone even more so than Day-Lewis’ win but Surf’s Up was the best animation of the year, more original and way funnier.
I haven’t slept in almost 24 hours so I can’t think of the opposite for “Disappointments”, therefore I’m naming this category "Appointments"
Marion Cotillard has been one of my “I wish more people knew how great she was” actresses so her win was nice. And Diablo Cody’s win was also awesome.

I’m really happy that No Country For Old Men and the Coen Brothers won the top prizes. Equally happy for Javier Bardem who gave what is now one of my all time favourite performances. Haven’t seen There Will Be Blood yet, but disappointed that Roger Deakins didn’t win for cinematography. A BIG congratulations to all the winners. 2 of my top 3 directors: Martin Scorsese one year, Joel and Ethan Coen the next, come on, QT has to follow suit!!
She got so choked up when she won the BAFTA for the same category. She couldn’t even speak, she was mummbling, she was shaking, it was soo sweet. Everyone in the audience was like “awwwwww” hahaha, she was ever so thankful to the British Academy. I haven’t seen her Oscar speech yet.
I was pretty pleased with this year’s Oscars. The Coens won like three awards in the one night. I would have liked the Best Director and Best Picture to be split between There Will Be Blood and No Country though. Maybe PT Anderson for Best Director and No Country for Best Picture, but I thought it was good that the Coens got to win their first Director Oscar.
I was happy that Diablo Cody won Best Screenplay though. I don’t think Juno really deserved anything else it was nominated for, but regardless of whether Juno deserved Best Screenplay, it was nice to see Diablo win an award. I’m happy for her.
I watched the Oscars, just wasn’t familiar with her (Marion) work. She is pretty, but did anyone else felt like 30% of the Oscars camera time was on Jack Nicholson and he wasn’t even a part of the show. Just goes to show how bada$$ he is.
Thanks to Jack Nicholson!
