Oscars
Well, despite all the predictions of a runaway win for Brokeback Mountain, that never really happened.
I won’t list every category winner here (the BBC have already done that) - but it’s nice to see a number of great films getting recognition (although “Best Animated Feature” getting yet another Oscar for Nick Park was never in doubt) - King Kong of course swept the Sound and Visual Effects categories, and it was good to see a couple of more mainstream movies get some credit too - like the makeup award for Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
This years Oscars clearly show that 2005 was a great year for film, with many great movies sharing the honours - let’s hope 2006 has the quality to match!
