Finally!

So the Oscars are finally over. No real surprises in the major honours based on pre-Oscar forecasts and awards shows in the last month or so. My only disappointment was that Pan's Labyrinth didn't win Best Foreign Film, despite winning Oscars in other categories.

Scorsese finally won his first Best Director gong, though by my guess more on a kesian basis. Don't think that The Departed is as good as The Aviator or Gangs Of New York, let alone seminal classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. Liked it when the great Lucas, Spielberg and Coppola presented his award though.
