Recently, SAW decided to take it upon ourselves to redo the 2006 Academy Awards by starting with a clean slate of nominees in selected categories. We put together a highly educated and well respect panel to scour over the movie contenders from 2005 to announce what we felt were the best five nominees for ten different categories. We then put those nominees out for you, the SAW community, to cast your ballot for who you thought was the best of the best. Well, those votes have been tallied and we are proud to announce the winners of the 2006 RetrOscars!
