Oscars help
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 12:29 pm
Hey gang---I haven't posted anything worthwhile in years (if ever!
) but I had a burning question today that I'm sure one of you brainiacs can answer.
Last night as I watched the Oscars, I was checking out some things on Wikipedia. When I was looking up Marion Cotillard, I noticed that in her "file" it mentioned that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress...and this was just a minute or two after she won. I thought this was odd..but maybe they had some quick typers over at Wiki Central.
So before DD Lewis and No Country were awarded Oscars, I checked them out on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia already stated that they had won the 2008 Oscar. And this was at least a good half-hour to an hour before they were announced! I checked out the other nominees and only the winners had been correctly posted on this site.
Of course, my question is...how did Wiki Central get this supposed top-secret info before it was even announced???
Thanks for all help.
