I am sorry but any list that gives Best Original Song to Another Way To Die looses a lot of credit in my book. Did they not hear the Wrestler? Or ANY OTHER song for that matter? Another Way To Die was lame.
Hey Brevet? where the f… is Jolie. Biased.
@faceit: What does that even mean?
Best Actor: Richard Jenkins, The Visitor?
The only undeserving pick there.
