The Oscar hangover

The death of Oscar's commercial clout may be premature. Visit Amazon's Movers & Shakers DVD page today and see some Oscar winners climbing up the sales chart. Take "Once," which saw its DVD sales jump 766 percent the day (as of 2:10 EST) after winning for Best Original Song. And pre-orders for "There Will Be Blood" got goosed by 263 percent based on its Oscar win for Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis). But the big early winner is "La Vie en Rose," which climbed 1,700 percent thanks to Oscar's good graces (Marion Cotillard won for Best Actress).
