Oscar Aftermath

I told you: 18 of 24. It's what I usually get right, and it happened again this year. There were no upsets this year in the acting categories (Sean Penn edged out Mickey Rourke, Penelope Cruz kept her frontrunner status), and, aside from Departures' surpise best foreign film win, everything pretty much stuck to the script. Hugh Jackman did a fine job as host - but the standout for me was the comedy segment featuring the Pineapple Express reunion of James Franco and Seth Rogen. Laughing at The Reader as if it's a worthless comedy? Awesome. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
