Winners of the 85th Academy Awards

Sorry, blog viewers, I forgot to write
that Christopher Waltz was in
the nominees section for Best
Supporting Actor because I didn't
notice him in this category. I guess
that some of you missed watching
the Academy Awards. Here are the
winners that received the Oscars for
this 85th ceremony, and you'll
find that there is a tie in one of the
award categories.

I was not surprised that the Pixar animated feature Brave took home the prize. I was outraged for this to happen. It should have been the other movies like Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, just as I once believed that Hugo was to win Best Picture in last year's awards ceremony. Why would somebody pick Brave as the ultimate contender, it's not acceptable, and it is an unexpected choice. If some of you are unhappy about it, tell me about the 85th Academy Awards.
