Oscar 2007 - I vincitori

Nel contesto di una cerimonia gradevole e ben condotta da una misurata Ellen DeGeneres (nella foto), sono stati consegnati ieri notte a Los Angeles i 79simi Academy Award.
Molte conferme, alcune -clamorose- sorprese per una serata meno prevedibile di quanto si potesse pensare.
Commenti, curiosità e perplessità nei prossimi giorni.
Ah, il mio personal score quest'anno è stato appena sufficiente: 13 winners correttamente pronosticati su un totale di 24 categorie. Si poteva fare di meglio...
Di seguito tutti i vincitori.
