True, heath really deserve, but i thought benjamin will win the best picture, and slumdog, well i dont know, depends on your taste
I so am so happy Button didn't take home as much awards as nominations. I agree with most of winners. Still don't see how the Wrestler was overlooked for a nomination in Best Picture, although it probably would have still lost to Slumdog. Great movie.
another oscar for a gay role.....still haven't watched that movie but damn really hoped the wrestler would've won an award.
Yay for Kate Winslet and Heath Ledger! Slumdog took home top honors it was much deserved I enjoyed the flick alot.
heard Slumdog Millionaire top a majority of the awards. kudos to Danny Boyle, hes a good director and to Kate Winslets too ~ nice recognition for Heath Ledger too, he was awesome as the Joker ^^
slum dog is about india culture i wasn't too fond of the film, i had no interest in it. but good for heath ledger! everybody wanted him to win.
imo, slumdog is over rated and did not deserve to win all those awards, Changeling deserved a much better recognition. Also think Angelina Jolie deserved the best actress title instead of Kate Winslet. Maybe the Oscar pple thought they would be nice this year and give awards to British contributions??
