75th Annual Academy Awards - March 23rd 2003

26th March 2003
Well, I missed the live broadcast because I was at an amazing party (note: the party was not, repeat _not_ amazing), but judging from the highlights it was pretty boring, the biggest surprise being that Eminem is now an "Oscar Winner". The big losers of the night were undoubtedly 'Gangs of New York', who didn't win a thing. Steve Martin was good, but as usual he's no Billy Chrystal. Hopefully next year won't need to be "toned down", whatever that means.

Winners are marked below
