Oscar 2011: A post from the future

I found this note laying around on the street today and thought I’d share it with you:

___________________________________________________________________________

Hello, I’m from tomorrow. I look just like you, and our dressing even still matches, even if my app updates are superior to yours, as is my celebrity gossip news. However I have decided to bestow upon you a list of winners for the Oscars, which have not yet happened in your timeline.

Perhaps some shift might occur, altering the flow of reality from my accidental jump to 2010 (that flux capacitor can be a bit glitchy sometimes) causing the results to vary slightly, but I am confident that this news, which i bring to you from tomorrow, is in fact…fact! feel free to place your last minute bets at the bookies to reclaim the no doubt millions of currency (or billions depending on where you live, and whichever is the greater amount) that shall be bestowed upon you for this insightful knowledge i am blessing you with from the future, so that you may boast to your friends at the magnificence of your statistical aptitude and mastery of the art of probability indices.

and so I give you…the academy award winners for 2011!
