The Oscar winners -The 80th Annual Academy Awards
Feb 26th, 2008 by filmbook
I don’t really tune in to award show broadcasts anymore because the acceptance speeches are sometime painful to watch (hence the lateness of the post). That being said, I was very surprised to find out that The Bourne Ultimatum won three Oscars but not so surprised that No Country for Old Men bet There Will Be Blood for the Best Picture win. No Country for Old Men has such a non-traditional ending that it stands out from the pack. Without further ado, here are the winners of 80th Annual Academy Awards.

I loved that you tube clip! I watched the entire telecast and besides a few solid jokes in the beginning, it was a very average Oscars. The worst part was sitting through 10 minutes of past Best Picture winners.

Glad you liked the clip. There is no way I would sit through that entire broadcast. Hell no.
