Four Oscars in what?
The jockeying for glory is over and Hollywood is now currently waking up in a fug after last night's after-event parties. There was no real controversy, everything nice and safe. As I predicted, The Grand Budapest Hotel picked up none of the awards anyone is really interested in, though unsurprisingly for such a sumptuous film, it won Best Original Score (just about something that might appear in a pub quiz), Best Costume Design, Best Make-Up and Hair-yawning, sorry, Hairstyling, Best Production Design. These technical awards allow DVD blurb to talk about an Oscar-winning film, without exactly mentioning what these Oscars were. For instance, how many of the Academy can make a truly informed decision as to the distinction between sound-mixing (winner: Whiplash) and sound-editing (winner: American Sniper). It will allow the winners to get their way more of the time in future collaborations with the prestige, enhance their standing in their own fields and also send up their insurance premiums as they strive to ensure the Oscar statuette (which is only ever loaned) isn't lost, damaged or stolen.
