Not too many surprises during last nights' Academy Awards.
I finished with a modest 15-9 win-loss ratio.
Had I went with my gut on sound and visual effects and would have went with the top picks for supporting actor, I would have had the best showing ever since I've been keeping track of this stuff.
In any event, happy with Mad Max showing. It's a tip of the hat to George Miller. You could tell all of the winners truly love him as a director and person. Haven't seen Spotlight, but I picked it to win based on conversations with people who have seen it and, of course, Rotten Tomatoes. Being a former journalist, I've got to see this.
Later!
