As a long-time Nine Inch Nails fan, I personally am utterly
thrilled that Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross won Best Original Score for
The Social Network, even if the movie itself and David Fincher were unfairly skunked at the end. I can now say truthfully that I've not only met an Oscar winner, but I've been complimented/hugged by one (not at the same time, though).
(It's a long, long story involving a t-shirt I designed for a NIN usenet group 15+ years ago, and another one I did for myself & a couple of friends 2 years ago; if anyone's dying of curiosity, I can post a link for you to photos of the shirts in question.)
My friend Columbine, who was watching the show w/me, says she wishes there was a way she could have taken the clip of Trent accepting his award and shown it to him 15 years go, to see what his reaction would have been. "See, this is what you can look forward to, once you've gone clean & sober and gotten your act together!" I'm just so happy to see him happy and doing so well, I could almost cry.
On a totally different note, it looks like Melissa Leo may never be allowed to live down accidentally dropping the f-bomb on live TV in front of God & everybody the way she did...this is exactly why these shows are put on a 3-second delay!
