Oscar Results

A surprising evening on a number of award winners, others what you would expect.  Who would of thought that Lincoln was so hated?  By the way anyone else see the irony of the First Lady announcing Argo as the winner only months after Benghazi?  Of course not, that never happened.  Here are the results.

Visual Effects
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Life Of Pi
Winner - Life Of Pi
Adam - 1
Chris - 1

This film had the best screen effects, think of it a kid and a tiger on a boat?

Sound Mixing
Chris - Les Miserables
Adam - Les Miserables
Winner - Les Miserables
Adam - 2
Chris - 2

The only musical nominated in this category it was going to win.

Sound Editing
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Life Of Pi
Winner - Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty
Adam - 2
Chris -2

I don't think anyone expected this to be a tie and if you did, you're lying.


Cinematography
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Life Of Pi
Winner - Life Of Pi
Adam -3
Chris - 3

Another technical award claimed by Life of Pi.

Makeup & Hairstyling
Chris - Les Miserables
Adam - Les Miserables
Winner - Les Miserables
Adam - 4
Chris -4

I think this has a lot to do with the popularity of the films in this category that and if people have historic memories.  This was against Hitchcock and The Hobbit, and the only film where people weren't alive to remember was Les Miz, you have to believe the hairstyle was correct.

Costume Design
Chris - Anna Karenina
Adam - Anna Karenina
Winner - Anna Karenina
Adam - 5
Chris -5 

Everyone said it was going to win and it did.

Production Design
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Anna Karenina
Winner - Lincoln
Adam - 5
Chris - 5

This could be a sign that Lincoln could start winning more trophies?

Film Editing
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Argo
Winner - Argo
Adam - 6
Chris - 5

This is beginning to follow along in my theory and moves me ahead of the wife.

Music Original Song
Chris - Les Miserables
Adam - Skyfall
Winner - Skyfall
Adam - 7
Chris - 5

I'm moving ahead.  Everyone picked this song, I've never heard it, never saw Adele sign before, but boy can she sing and she is really good looking.

Music Original Score
Chris - Skyfall
Adam - Life Of Pi
Winner - Life Of Pi
Adam - 8
Chris - 5

Pulling way ahead now.

Writing Adapted Screenplay
Chris - Life Of Pi
Adam - Argo
Winner - Argo
Adam - 9
Chris - 5

Can't even see you in the rear view mirror.  Still following along in my theory of Argo winning Best Picture.

Writing Original Screenplay
Chris - Moonrise Kingdom
Adam - Zero Dark Thirty
Winner - Django Unchained
Adam - 9
Chris - 5

Really, do we have to give Quentin Tarantino another Oscar?

Short Film Animated
Chris - Maggie Simpson in The Longest Daycare
Adam - Paperman
Winner - Paperman
Adam - 10
Chris - 5

I was right they were being snobbish towards The Simpsons since it's a TV show.

Short Film Live Action
Chris - Death Of A Shadow
Adam -Death Of A Shadow
Winner - Curfew
Adam - 10
Chris - 5

And the reason why this film won is because there is water in the ocean.  Can't think of a better reason since there isn't one.  Talk about better odds playing powerball.

Documentary Short Subject
Chris - Redemption
Adam - Inocente
Winner - Inocente
Adam - 11
Chris - 5

I rolled the five sided dice and it landed on my number.

Best Animated
Chris - Brave
Adam -Wreck-it Ralph
Winner - Brave
Adam - 11
Chris - 6

I like how the winner took time to embarrass her daughter during her speech, that kid will be having therapy in no time.

Best Documentary
Chris - How To Survive A Plague
Adam - Searching For Sugar Man
Winner - Searching For Sugar Man
Adam - 12
Chris - 6

Maybe fifteen years ago How To Survive A Plague would have won, but AIDS films are no longer trendy, especially since we so much more to ignore like Benghazi, the deficit, wars, freedoms being eroded, failing economy, you know the things that don't exist so films about looking for a blues musician can win Best Documentary.

Best Foreign Language
Chris - Amour
Adam - Amour
Winner - Amour
Adam - 13
Chris - 7

It was nominated for Best Picture which it would never win, so it's going to win this one.

Best Supporting Actress
Chris - Anne Hathaway
Adam - Anne Hathaway
Winner - Anne Hathaway
Adam - 14
Chris - 8

The best part was Seth MacFarlane hitting on Sally Field dressed as the Flying Nun.

Best Supporting Actor
Chris - Christoph Waltz
Adam - Tommy Lee Jones
Winner - Christoph Waltz
Adam - 14
Chris - 9

I think there may have been a bias against Lincoln at the awards, more on that later.

Best Actress
Chris - Jennifer Lawrence
Adam - Jennifer Lawrence
Winner - Jennifer Lawrence
Adam - 15
Chris - 10

The funniest is her answers to reporter questions after she won, look it up on the web.

Best Actor
Chris - Daniel Day-Lewis
Adam - Daniel Day-Lewis
Winner - Daniel Day-Lewis
Adam - 16
Chris - 11

I have a feeling that they had no choice but to give him the award since no one was anywhere close.  But if they could avoid giving another award to Lincoln I think they would have.

Best Director
Chris - Steven Spielberg
Adam - Steven Spielberg
Winner - Ang Lee
Adam - 16
Chris -11

Like here.  Lincoln is about the first Republican president and seeing how Queen Obama the first gave the Oscar for Best Picture one may think the White House had some influence on the awards?  Probably not, but it felt a bit a little too much like North Korea to me.

Best Picture
Chris - Argo
Adam - Argo
Winner - Argo
Adam - 17
Chris - 12

The 85th Best Picture and I won this year.
