Oscar Awards handed out



The Academy Awards, now officially known as The Oscars took place recently. Enough has been said about this star-studded affair so I am not going to waste any more time on the subject. However, I will give a huge shout out to Best Documentary winner, ‘Searching for Sugar Man’. The movie details the efforts of two Cape Town fans in the late 1990s to find out whether the rumoured death of American musician Sixto Rodriguez was true, and, if not, to discover what had become of him.
