It certainly was a Precious lovefest.

I am sad A Single Man went home empty-handed. It has far more indie spirit than the Mo'Nique movie. :P

I just don't think anyone cared enough about the winners to post, especially when one movie pretty much dominated, and that movie was PRECIOUS.

We should have rallied behind AN EDUCATION for Best Foreign Film here :P. I know technically it's eligible because it's British, but I still always think of Foreign Films as not being in English. I wonder if it got enough nominations Lecter would have disqualified it ;).

Anyway, congrats to it, and HUMPDAY.
