While 2005 was not the best year for a lot of people, it was a great year for motion pictures. Box office sales may have been down, but art and quality of films were at an all-time high. Every single category, from gut-busting comedy to action-packed science fiction to extremely controversial Westerns, proved that cinema was at the height of its game.
Yesterday it was time once again for cinema to put its money where its masterpiece is. Not only did the 2006 Academy Awards proved who really was the best of the best in Hollywood, but also gave the opportunity to prove who is dominant on the other side of the screen: the average viewer. Due to a longstanding Daily Orange rivalry, every year we take on the undead for Oscar picking domination. It was a close fight, but at the end of the day Editor in Chief Dana Moran and Feature Editor Alex Shebar beat out those cheeky lifeless bastards, 4-1-4, and a victory was claimed everywhere for those who have a heart to beat and a voice to cry out in triumph for all of mankind.
