Coffee Money!

Well my prediction came true, I did win the Oscar pool, and have just over 20 bucks jingling in my pocket. I missed a couple - not sure why I picked Franco to win Best Actor, maybe because I wanted to see his acceptance speech. True Grit was robbed of cinematography. I mean Inception was very very cool, but the photography in True Grit was stunning.
As hosts, I loved Franco and Hathaway - kind of goofy, and Franco did look baked for a lot of the evening - but hey, younger demogaphic and all that., dust the cobwebs off the show I say.
For me, as always, it was the screenplay awards that I pay attention to the most. Sorkin was a lock, and he is a damn fine writer - but I didn't know the story of the King's Speech writer, being a stutterer and all that - so he gives the best acceptance speech of the night, by a writer, who would have guessed it.
