Our Thoughts on the Winner
Diablo Cody won her first Oscar for her work on Juno. She’s come a long way from her days as a stripper! She was wearing an animal print dress. She looked great and had to hold off tears of excitement.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn’t lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she’s certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing. |

There Will Be Blood
Our Thoughts on the Winner
Cameron Diaz was announcing the award. I have to say that she looked awful in her off the shoulder pink dress. It is beyond me why some of the people that come to the Oscars, seem to go to the trouble of finding a dress (even if it is from Walmart), and then they don’t do their hair.

 The Nominees
Once “Falling Slowly”
Enchanted “Happy Working Song”
August Rush “Raise It Up”
Enchanted “So Close”
Enchanted “That’s How You Know”
Our Prediction
August Rush “Raise It Up”
Ultimate Upset
Enchanted “That’s How You Know”
And the winner is…
Once “Falling Slowly”
Our Thoughts on the Winner
This was one of the most unexpected wins of the night, in my opinion. The live performance was definitely one of the weakest, but the Academy felt that props should go to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for the song “Falling Slowly” from their movie, Once.
