I am having a heated debate

on Facebook about last night's Oscar results and I know I shouldn't be, but I don't know why I'm getting so worked up! I feel so bad for people that commented before me that keep getting a notification every time I write something. So basically this guy is upset that a picture made by a little nobody from France (Michel Hazanavicius) beat American big-namers like Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, and Steven Spielberg. And now he is arguing that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II should have won because of its "impact on pop culture". 
????????????????????
Given that the writer of that status is an independent filmmaker, I think the first argument is a little ironic. And given that the Oscars is a highly adult-catered show, giving the best picture award to Harry Potter would be leaving a lot of voice. 
Anyway, speaking of Oscars. Here are some of my favorite intros from past Academy Awards hosted by Billy Crystal and Hugh Jackman!
