The 2000 Academy Awards are history, and now it is time to take a look at how things turned out. Oscar Night was full of the usual glitz and glamour, as was the Proudest Monkeys, which brought back a tradition for the third year.

In February of 1998, before the Proudest Monkeys had even been conceived, Godking's World delivered the first Academy Awards Poll. Last year, the Monkeys took up the mantle with the 1999 Academy Awards Poll. Our results from the 2000 Poll are now posted, so you can compare our winners to the actual winners. Thanks to everyone who submitted a ballot, and we hope to see you all next year!
