- A Razzie and an Oscar? Who am I, Julia Roberts?
Man, I need something to wash the boring-as-shit taste of last night’s Academy Awards out of my mouth. You can re-visit the Coast’s infinitely more entertaining liveblog of the event, and if you want to read some funny celebrity Tweets about the event, go here.
I’m told the ECMAs were slightly better, if a mite predictable and slightly uneven, sound-wise. Stay tuned for more weekend coverage from Coast photographer/hero Scott Blackburn. In the meantime, here’s the results:
