The Oscars 2013: Reviews

Hi,
today is not about writing as much as it is about gathering. I hope you watched the Oscars. It was a nice ceremony, with great performances from the whole cast of "Les Miserables" (which I still have to watch, specially for the performance of Anne Hathaway who won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role), Adele for the soundtrack of "James Bond: Skyfall" (which I also have to see, at least for the opening credits, I was told they are almost videoart!), Barbra Streisand and Shirley Bassey, YES, with "Goldfinger". The host could have not been there, it wouldn't have changed much of the ceremony...
Anyway, going back to where we came from, the gathering. I am putting a list of movies I had the chance to see which won Oscars this year.

CineBlogger #0055: Cinema Just for Fun

Description:
A blog on movies and series written by an animator, editor and video artist and especially a cinema lover. The idea is to have a quick look at a movie, with the basic infos, the trailer, the poster, a small summary and a review. Since I am European, I may have seen movies that are not that mainstream in the US, and therefor propose an alternate look at cinema today.

Genre: All
Writers: Just Me
Site Age: 2+ Years
Updates: Every Day

3 Favorite Movies:
The Matrix, Jackie Brown, Deconstructing Harry

Any other questions or comments?
I offer people to comment on the post, one opinion is always less relevant than many, therefore I invite people to give their opinion.
