And the Oscar goes to...

So today's the Oscars. I guess I'm not as excited as I usually am because I haven't seen most of the films nominated this year. Seriously, I think the only films I've seen are those nominated for Visual Effects: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Poseidon and Superman Returns.
