And the Oscar goes to............

This year's Oscar was much less boring than the previous ones. It wasn't very interesting but yeah it was still okay. Hugh Jackman had an opening number and sang with Anne Hathaway. Oh, didn't know the 2 of them could sing that well. There was also the Beyonce, Zannessa and Domanda performance. Then there were also surprise presenters like Halle Berry, Shirley Mclaine, Cher, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Adrien Brody and Robert Deniro.

Best Picture - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Steven Spielberg presented this award. When Slumdog Millionaire was announced, i was thinking okay, Button didnt win. However, when i saw the faces of the kids from mumbai i thought well, it was all worth it i guess. An epic lost to a little movie about love and life.
SEAN PENN - MILK

Most of the people thinks it would be Mickey Rourke but deep down in my heart, i always knew it would be Penn. The Academy loves him more than Mickey and the fact that Mickey is acting as himself gives him alot of negative points. Sean Penn, 2 times Oscar winner.

KATE WINSLET - THE READER

The Actress who the Academy owed an Oscar to finally had the chance to get a standing ovation, take the little gold man home and join the list of elites which includes Meryl Streep, Katherine Hepburn, Cher, Kathy Bates, Hilary Swank etc that would bring her long down history lane. I love Kate.

HEATH LEDGER - THE DARK KNIGHT

Heath Ledger definitely deserves the award. Being only the 2nd one to have won an Oscar posthumusly, Heath Ledger received a standing ovation and loads of applause from the whole Kodak Theatre when his named was called. His parents and his sister accepted the award on his behalf and thanked the Academy. All the best for you up there Heath.
PENELOPE CRUZ - VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA

Known to be the frontrunner ever since Kate was pushed to Lead, Penelope commented on the podium that she might be the first to faint there. She gave a rather nice speech although you have to listen hard to know what she is saying. Well done Penelope.
