Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Like the Christmas season, Oscar season needs to take a few days weeks months to wind down—in which time everyone ponders "what might have been." In the case of the Oscars, we seem to have plenty of people speculating over what should have won Best Picture over the years (though I think I've already covered that). As to this year's awards, I'm sure the buzz and debates will continue for quite a while yet, but I think I can comfortably move on now that a satisfactory Oscar season has run its course.

Though I'll probably need a few days yet to fully recover from Oscar night. 'Twas intense.
