After literally hours of editing on both ends and a whole mess of formatting work, I'm quite proud to present Holden Pike's 2011 Oscar analysis:
This sucker is over 10,000 words long, and is made up almost entirely of the bits and pieces Holden's posted on the forums, stitched together into one big, seamless feature. This was quite an undertaking as each category had its own thread, and Holden posted follow-ups in most categories after various guilds offered their versions of each award, almost all of which were integrated into the earlier analysis. It was also put through the wringer multiple times for typos, tense, and all the images were resized to match one another.
A huge, huge thanks to Holden for letting us use his work in a more formal way, and for giving it a good going over after the initial edit. This is some thorough stuff, people, loaded with historical context and peppered with insightful personal opinions along the way, so let's give the guy a heaping helping of appreciation.
