Link To The 2009 Oscar Winners List

Looking for a quick list of last night's winners? Just check out Variety's list here.

You're welcome.

Links To The Grammy Winners

Again, you know how I feel about dredging through search results just to find the list of winners. Well, here are two of the lists of Grammy winners. The first (click here) is a complete listing, right down to best Zydeco album - but it doesn't list what the other nominees in each category were. The second list (click here) is the short list of popular categories, but it does include the other nominees.

Quick thoughts:

-Why the hell Robert Plant & Alison Krauss took so many awards eludes me as much as why people still care about the Grammys as a whole. "Please Read The Letter" seemed like little more than a repetitive deep cut when I first heard it, and it got more annoying with time.

-I was happy to see that Metallica won the Metal Performance category ("My Apocalypse"), but I almost wonder if they just give the award to them every year now after the whole Jethro Tull debacle in 1989.

-I would have liked to see Rob Zombie win the Hard Rock Performance award ("Lords of Salem"), but such is life.

- I was happily surprised to see Zappa Plays Zappa take the award for Rock Instrumental Performance ("Peaches En Regalia").

A Link To The Emmy Winners

If there's anything I hate, it's sorting through a bunch of web results just to get a quick list of winners after an awards show - so here's a quick link to the Emmy winners from last night's show - just click here.

As for commentary - I didn't actually watch the program. Mainly because I know that I'd get grumpy when the very few genre shows that I like that even got NOMINATED were overlooked for more generic fare. Ah well - at least Pushing Daisies won for Comedy Directing, and I do loves me some Tina Fey and Jon Stewart...
