FINAL SCORE: 10/23

Looks like I have some studying to do before the Oscars. I really should have chosen Firth for Best Actor. That one just makes sense. I didn't see The Hurt Locker taking home as many awards as it did but only because I don't have faith in award committees recognizing how much better it is than Avatar. What doesn't make sense to me is that Kristen Stewart wins the Rising Star award while her co-nominee wins Best Actress. Mulligan, Monique, and Waltz take home acting awards. I can't complain about that. So, there's the BAFTAs. Didn't know they were happening until this morning. 10 our of 23 might be a failing grade but when I didn't even know there was a test happening, I'll take what I can get.
