"Does Oscar Ever Get It Wrong?" - An Alex Wagner article that caught my eye.

After looking at the IMDB top 250 films and checking out a few of the films listed that I'm particularly fond of, I stumbled across an article posted on the internet on October 1st 2009 by Alex Wagner, a film geek living in London. It easily sums up the injustice that is often rife at award ceremonies, in particularly at The Oscars, and in all honesty, actually made me laugh.

In my opinion, Alex Wagner is definately someone to follow for anyone interested in film and all that is motion picture based.
