Winners of the 87th Academy Awards

Greetings, I'm Film Guru Lad. I'm sorry for the delay in not giving the official announcement of the winners of the 87th Oscars. I ran some errands in my blog by fixing my six Star Wars movie reviews and adding more names to the crew description. 

I've deleted the gadget from my blog, where you can translate it into any foreign language. I think it's linked to some of the feedback that is spam.

It's not much I expected from the winners of this big annual presentation. I'm stunned that Big Hero 6 finally got an award for Best Animated Feature, which marks the second time for Walt Disney Animated Studios after last year's Frozen. I was disappointed that Hans Zimmer ended up empty-handed with only a nomination for Interstellar and snubbed in favour of Alexandre Desplat's score of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
