I can’t believe I actually sat through the entire Oscar ceremony this year. Urgh. So awkward. So time consuming. I could’ve spent those wasted hours calibrating my projector, or working on that screenplay I’m always going on about or brushing my teeth or something. Anyway, it wasn’t actually all that painful as, at its core, it’s a celebration of the movies. And we all love the movies, right? More importantly, we all love watching said movies, looking and sounding great on Blu-ray in the comfort of our own homes. Thankfully, most of the winning films are already available on Blu and those that aren’t show signs of turning up in stores soon.
What do you think of the winners? Are you more apt to pick up any of the following titles, now that they are Academy Award winners?
ALICE IN WONDERLAND – Art Direction (Robert Stromberg, Karen O’hara), Best Costume Design (Colleen Atwood)
