The 2011 Oscars Receive Bad Reviews

Oscar Winners: Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Melissa Leo and Colin Firth

The reviews are in regarding the 2011 Oscars that took place in Los Angeles, California last night and they are not pretty. Since the site was not nominated for best blog, which really isn't a category, I decided to boycott the show (like I was invited anyway). A little bit of humor, there.
