  1. Colin: I wouldn’t be surprised. I caught one typo, probably missed more. Most of this list was ganked from Variety, however, which makes the typos surprising. The balance came from a more complete list in the Wikipedia, where the creator did a better job.

  2. Soon Lee: John Boyega now a Best Actor finalist.

    Well, yay. Obviously they got enough stick about it from the public that they decided to pull their heads out of their nether regions.
