not the hosting, that was awesome. sandra bullock's presenter speech was especially hilarious.

but if hailee steinfeld had won an oscar for best actress over portman or williams, it would have been a travesty. likewise if colin firth had lost best actor to anyone. the rest of it, we either fell in line with the academy or awarded films (inception) that were equal to the ones that won (king's speech). the only significant upgrade was nolan in the director category. overall, our nominees were better than the academy's, but our winners were way worse.
