Oscar Recap!

To our great surprise, we actually chose the winner for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards last night. Louie Psihoyos' The Cove brought home the honors and it's hard to argue against it's victory as the film did pretty much everything right. We've talked at length about this fascinating documentary (and you can always check out our review if you really want to learn more), so we won't go into further detail here.

Besides, why talk about a movie when you can hear some juicy gossip! If you watched the award show last night, you noticed a very awkward scene during the speech by documentary short winner Music by Prudence. It turns out the director and producer despise each other and their turbulent past finally caught up with them on stage at the Oscars.

Needless to say, you need to head over to salon.com to hear both sides of the story and to see a clip of the "Kanye West"-like moment from Sunday night. Enjoy!
