OSCARS CONGRATS

Anyone watch the Oscars last night? I was unfortunately layed out sick in bed and missed em. However, there were a few things I felt needed mentioning upon reading of the night's awards:

Congratulations to both MARTIN SCORSESE and ILM for their Oscar wins last night! This is the first Oscar for Scorsese after being nominated 5 previous times in his career. You should have won for GOOD FELLAS, but grabbing one for THE DEPARTED is quite nice! And to ILM for Best Visual Effects. I must say your DAVY JONES was quite impressive and you deserved the statue. This is ILM's first Oscar since 1994, for Forrest Gump.

And the winner for the WTF? moment, which further confirmed what a joke the Oscars are: HAPPY FEET winning Best Animation.
