In response to "I wish there were more surprises at the Oscars." by ty97

it's my favorite, but the winners are never about favorites.

Like, could you watch The Kings Speech over and over again? Or The Social Network? I could maybe watch it once more.

But Inception? I could watch multiple times over and over and still enjoy it.

    - Wow. Just wow. Thrown in 127 Hours and you have the last 4 nominees in. -- nm - MDH Feb 27, 20:35
