Jim Rash won an Oscar.

That's literally the only thing I cared about.

Edit: Oh yeah, Bret McKenzie winning an Oscar. I cared about that too.

Now I'm really interested in seeing The Artist. Never thought silent films would ever make a comeback.

[Old Man Jenkins]

Makeup should've gone to Darth Maul in Insidious.

Ugh, if they do that'd be awful. The Artist should be "one of a kind" so to speak; the first silent film to win Best Picture, and it should stay that way. Silent films don't need to make a comeback. Found footage films made a comeback with Cloverfield and look what that led to. 3D made a comeback with Avatar and look what that led to. Superhero/comic book-inspired movies made a comeback with Iron Man and look what that led to. The last thing we need is a found footage silent film in 3D based off of a comic book.

The Descendants should've won more than it did.
