Full list of Academy Award Winners

[Best Actress, Kate Winslet]

While the Academy Awards were on last night, Jami and I were watching Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, which came out in 2008 but wasn't nominated in the documentary category (which is good, it was only a fair movie).

So if you, like me, did not see the awards last night, here is the winners list, from Reuters. I was not surprise that Sean Penn won best actor, he is the best actor of his generation, but I was hoping Mickey Rourke would have won.

Oh yeah, Waltz with Bashir should have been best foreign language film or best animated feature - it sucks that it won nothing.
