Another day, another award show bestows yet another award upon both deserving and overrated artists. This years winners are:
The Artist cleaned up, picking up 7 awards. Unsurprisingly, Meryl Streep was awarded for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. Britain may not love Thatcher, but they love Streep. Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer also continue their awards circuit sweepage. Predicting this year’s Academy Awards seems to be predictably easy. But we’ll just have to wait and see…
