List Oscar Winners Website

As a screenwriter, you must watch the Academy Awards.  Or at least tape it if you can't watch it live.  Why?  It's the one time you get to see your favorite actors and actresses all at one time.  Moreover, you will find out who won in all the categories.  This is important because you will then be given ideas of how to approach your writing.  From what angle will you write?  From who won the best adapted or original screenplay?  Or who won best actor, actress or picture?

The list of nominations is also important.  At the very least, watch all the nominated movies.  However, sometimes you are forced to wait for the video.  For example, it appears that The Pianist, which is nominated for the 75th Oscars, is no longer in theaters, at least in my area.
