Well done to Kathryn Bigelow and ‘The Hurt Locker’ a throughly well deserved winner and well done to Wael & Shawn, you called it guys..Everything else was fairly predictable except I’m shocked that ‘A Prophet’ didn’t get best foreign film.

Haha! You certainly did! I certainly misjudged the mood there.

As I said on Twitter:

‘Hurt Locker wins. @LDNCalling and I bow to @waelkhairy88 and Shawn Slovo.’

Haha! Thanks for you comment Julliette. I would love to say I think Basterds will win the big one, but I don’t. I’d be thrilled for Tarantino if it did though.

Wael might be all about Hurt Locker taking Best Picture, but the two of us stand united on just how much we expect (and want) Waltz to take Best Supporting Actor. And not JUST because we want him to say, ‘That’s a bingo!’ in three different languages in his acceptance speech.

Wael i do hope you’re right, I watched The Hurt Locker again this week and it’s without question a very classy movie, my heart say The Hurt Locker but my head still says Avatar.

Why don’t we just pinch your list, seems comprehensive enough if wrong on best picture :)

Funny that Sandra Bullock win a Razzie and Oscar in the same weekend.. That would be a first I’m sure and one for the Oscar trivia collectors if she does .

Countdown to the ultimate “I told you so”: About 7 to 8 hours.

Simon, I’m sure Roger will be there. He’s been complaining about no room service at the hotel in front of the Kodak theater :)

Scott why not boost the views with a late (all 24 categories) predictions list :)

I meant ‘I didn’t mean Titanic and LOTR are exact precedents’. Damn misleading double negative typo!

Haha! I do still think Avatar will win … but I’d be glad if you’re able to post ‘I told you so…’ in a day’s time! :)

I think the trilogy took 17, didn’t it Wael? Wasn’t it just Return of the King that took 11?

Oh, no offence taken at all ndm! I certainly didn’t watch every possible video: just picked the best of those I did see!
