So, i got to thinking about two months ago that i thought the academy was retarded on many occasions. Why? Because they have obviously given out many awards for many reasons other for than the performances in front of or behind the camera. This has caused many undeserving oscars (i.e. halle berry.) Then entertainment weekly is doing this thing called recall the gold on their website. The are doing some of the awards every five years backwards until....1980 i believe. Then i had a great idea. I love movies! And i have opinions! So i decided to do my own academy awards starting from 1980 until the present. I am not sure why i started with 1980 but i think it is because the greatest movie of the 80's was made in 1980 and did not win best picture which is still one of the biggest academy mistakes. So i have been working on this project for freaking ever...about two months. I am doing all of the four major categories and posting them on this here blog until i am finished. I have finally finished 1980. But on a side note, the 1980 best actress category sadly goes unchanged from what it originally was because i have only seen one of the movies in question and no nothing of the performances so i felt i had no right to change them. I am not sure anybody will even care but that isn't really the point. I am doing it because it is a lot of fun for me and i think chris will get a kick out of it. The winners are highlighted in red. The ones that I nominated that are different from the original nominations are italicized. Ok, on with 1980 already!!!

This is epic.
Though I know few of these movies, I still like to see who you think should have won.
You should come up with a name for your awards....like...the Justademy Awards...I dunno, something. And come up with a trophy. Then you could have the Annual Justademy Awards (except with a better name) and we could all see who wins.
I agree with Bryan about creating an annual award, and if you want the enlist the services of others, to help with nominations and voting for winners and such, I hereby make myself available.
