If you've been following my posts, you'll know I really liked the Hurt Locker and it was my pick for Best Picture (take that, James Cameron!!) I'm really disappointed that District 9 didn't win anything, though. Boo to that! I haven't finished my coverage of the nominees for best picture because they haven't all been released on DVD yet. I will continue to do so even though the Oscars are over. Aaaaand, you're welcome.
