Online News Evaluation Update

My subject is the 2009 Academy Awards, which is known for recognizing the best in cinema. This project was pretty difficult for me. I tried really hard to find some good information, but the search engines that I used (google, yahoo, ask jeeves) did not want give it to me. One of the major difficulties that I have faced during this assignment is finding articles that didn't repeat themselves. Every other article that I found just listed the nominees and nothing more. Seeing the same information over and over again became really frustrating, so much so that I felt like changing my topic. But I decided to stick with it, and I began to find some really interesting articles. For instance, I found one article about how "The Dark Knight" was snubbed from a best picture nomination. The article posed a good question; if "The Dark Knight was nominated for best picture, would that have a positive effect on the Oscars TV ratings?" I slowly gathered one article after another until I had enough to write about. I started finding articles that talked about the business of the awards ceremony, and the actors who were nominated. I found out about their early careers, and I even found some Oscar history. Overall, I learned a lot. Despite my difficulties, I ended up gaining some knowledge. At this point, I'm still researching for a couple more articles.
