So, I have to say I loved a lot of last night's Oscars. Hugh Jackman, I thought, was hilarious and talented last night, especially in the opening number. It was great!
Overall, I was ECSTATIC with the results. 8 WINS FOR SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!! KATE WINSLET = BEST ACTRESS!!! Those were really the ones that I was pulling for. I certainly expected Sean Penn to win and I thought he was phenomenal in "Milk", but I was pulling for Richard Jenkins. Penelope Cruz was also a great choice for Suporting Actress and definitely expected.
Some might say this award season was boring. I mean, I predicted a lot of the wins last night, so maybe it was a little boring and predictable. The one semi-upset was "Departures" from Japan winning Best Foreign Language Film over Isreal's "Waltz with Bashir". I was a little disappointed about this, but seeing as I have only seen "Bashir" in that category, I can't complain too much. Plus, in the days before the Oscars, many bloggers were predicting that the more Oscar-friendly "Departures" would win.
YAY FOR SLUMDOG!
