F*@$ademy!

Bravo Hans Landa of SS, Waltz opened the account for Basterds Guns blazing. I was fooled when i thought this was going to be a Basterd's Night @ Academy. It was quite "Hurt" in fact, when academy are obsessed about one particular movie the other good ones hardly have any chance at all, that's what happened to Basterds and District 9 i was hoping that one of them might away run with the win this time. So near yet so far for Quentin.

Zimmer also lost today :( but atleast Zimmer's defeat was acceptable considering Up's overwhelming win @ BAFTA. Last year Slumdog, this year it's Hurt locker...yawns!

As for my Favorites of last year here it goes.

Best Movie: Tie between Inglorious Basterds & Star Trek ( i loved both of them and both had super amazing soundtrack backing them) every single person in Basterd's crew lived the role especially Waltz as Hans Landa and Brad pitt as Aldo Raine is underrated because of Waltz's performance.

Best Comedy: Tie between Zombieland & Hangover ( for people who haven't watched Zombieland it's a Must watch )

Best Sci-fi: District 9 (total ownage here) we have always imagined aliens to be far superior to us in everyway but this movie showed the aliens in a more different perspective than ever before & fight sequence in the end of the movie reminded me of scorpion levels in Halo. District 9 is Geek's Uber Choice.

Best Soundtrack: Sherlock Holmes & Star Trek (Atleast some consolation here in oscars Michael Giachianno won an oscar even though Star Trek was'nt nominated for the Oscar) 

Best Horror:  There were pretty good movies unlike the boring past 2 years in horror genre. Sam Raimi's "Drag me to Hell" was amazing & low budget "Paranormal Activity" drew wide acclaim.i loved both the movies.

There are plenty of movies to list out. but since i am running out of time i will conclude this here. hoping for a better night next year.

P.S: i am swearing at academy in case anyone is wondering about the title.

Academy's obsession in showing that they are far above normal people won't stop. it's better not to have any expectation it will be good to enjoy as a neutral always..

@ Illumination didn't know you had a blog..I guess it's been in the dust for quite sometime!
