Oscar Done Right

It was fucking abysmal, the entire affair. At least I wasn't so offended as last year's, just mostly bored to tears. But there were three parts that I can't stop watching over again and again:

I know that this has gotten a lot of flak for making it so obvious that The King's Speech was going to win, but at the same time, this montage is just really well-made and I liked the fact that they tried to parallel parts of the speech to themes of the other nominees, at least.

Ok, I'm not ok with this being at the Oscars - I just cringe at the thought of the audience seeing this - it's just embarrassing. But it really does make me laugh. Andrew Garfield's head bopping back and forth, oh my god.
