Oscar winners

I only missed two...two!  Damn.  Why did I keep Mickey Rourke when I knew it was gonna be Sean Penn?  I never would have guessed Departures though.  I was also wrong about a big surprise happening.  No surprises. Unless  Departures over Waltz With Bashir counts for that.

Now it's on to 2010.
