So what did we expect? Christoph Waltz, Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, and Monique won for their respective acting categories, Up won Original Score, and Animated Feature, and Up in the Air won for Screenplay. The rest were pretty much complete surprises. It was sad that The Hurt Locker went home with nothing. I may like Avatar more than The Hurt Locker, but I think can agree that The Hurt Locker is a better film than Avatar. Ultimately it was mostly a race of which film grossed the most money, and it offered little to no insight into the outcome of the Oscars.
