I don't see the problem with that! 12 Years A Slave is a good dramatic film about slavery; it makes sense that people living in the area where the film is set, and where slavery had a huge historical and personal impact, would be interested in seeing a movie about slavery, because it ties directly in with their local and family history.

There's a joke to make about Django Unchained here, but I can't quite nail it. (Turns out it didn't get an Oscar for Best Motion Picture anyway.)

 We're not allowed to leech images, right? or is it okay if it's Wikipedia?As to the actual contents of the map, I want it to take into account the competition too, as well as the four way tie which surely should not count as a full win. Maybe one point per number of contestants in the year the country won, and a quarter of that to each of the four way tie "winners". Eurovision is serious business.

Been browsing Strange Maps, a few assorted interesting ones: An East German map of the Berlin subway system, in which West Berlin is reduced to a tiny, featureless void:  The Daily Mail invents the Australian state of Capricornia:  CNN isn't much better at Australian geography:  And on the subject of Australia, a 1920s map of "habitability" (where white people like to live):  Argentina's claiming all sorts of stuff:
