One of the downsides of being a movie geek stationed in Sweden is that come Oscar night, that is really what it is here - night. The event starts here at 03.00 and ends at 06.00 in the morning.
But since we’re involved in one of the Short Films nominated for best Short, I hade to make sure I was the first one to break out the champagne, if it was called for.
But however sad it was to watch Joachim Back and Tivi Magnusson enter the stage and receive the Oscar for their short film The New Tenants instead of Patrik and Mattias. I found consolation in beating the crap out of my friend Sika in our annual Oscar pick championship. I scored 12 out of 15, he scored 11. The battle of the geeks is won. Boo-yah!
The Hurt Locker got 9 nominations and won 6 Oscars, Avatar got 9 nomination and won 3. The secret is to always place your bets on the angry ex-wife.
