No. 18: Rundown (aka, No. 12 revisited)

I know an in-depth post-Oscar analysis was promised...but there's really nothing to say. Let's be honest, was anyone actually surprised? I mean, we kinda didn't expect JC (no, not Jesus Christ) to be completely snubbed, but Kathryn's wins were entirely unshocking, almost expected. The actor/actress wins were called before the nominations were even announced (Christoph Waltz, Mo'Nique, Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock), and The Hurt Locker, unsurprisingly, cleaned up (and not just in the major categories). Avatar got some well-deserved recognition in a few of the artsy/visual departments, and Star Trek got an Oscar! (haha, for makeup. Lovely. Although, ZQuinto looked pretty darn good with those pointy ears. :P) Poor QT didn't get anything (only the Jew Hunter was recognized tonight), but you gotta admit, that wasn't wholly unexpected. So anyway, the only thing you missed if you didn't watch the Oscars 2010: Neil Patrick Harris!
