I saw Slumdog last week, honestly it just seems like a overhyped movie, i would rather watch the youtube Benny Lava vid.

Speaking of Sean Penn is anything familiar with the Sean Penn/Trey Parker Matt Stone from South Park feud that happened after Team America came out? it was entertaining.

Wall-E got best animated film. That's about it.

Slumdog won 8, I believe, and pretty much everything it was up for. Heath got supporting actor which was expected, I supposed. Otherwise, it was Slumdog's night.

I've had it on DVD for a month or two now but haven't watched it. I suppose I should pop it in sometime soon and check it out.

I can't believe Heath Ledger's family didn't talk about drug use and how it affected their family. The crowd gave a standing ovation to the parents of a druggie. It makes me sick to see how hollywood can use their platform to say or do what they want, and get away with. I hate the guy died, he was a great talent, but his family missed an opportunitity to tell the world that drugs can ruin peoples lives.

That's not really what accepting an award should be about. Just because others use it as a platform to lecture and criticize doesn't mean they should.

His prescriptions were all prescribed.Thus the term accidental death.Under the circumstances I don't think calling him a druggie is accurate or fair.That's why his family did not say anything,why would they. I thought they were a class act.I think you missed the boat on this one big time.Save your outrage and superior moral authority for your own and others closer to you who you know well enough to make these kind of outlandish comments.

True, it's not like they found a crack pipe next to him.

I did pretty well on my predictions (only missed 4/24)...

Best Picture- Slumdog Millionaire
Best Actor- Sean Penn (Milk)
Best Actress- Kate Winslet (The Reader)
Best Supporting Actor- Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
Best Supporting Actress- Penelope Cruz (Vicky Christina Barcelona)
Best Director- Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire)
Best Original Screenplay- Milk
Best Adapted Screenplay- Slumdog Millionaire
Best Animated- Wall-E
Best Documentary- Man on Wire
Best Foreign Film- Waltz With Bashir*
Best Cinematography- Slumdog Millionaire
Best Costume Design- The Duchess
Best Film Editing- Slumdog Millionaire
Best Makeup- Benjamin Button
Best Sound Editing- The Dark Knight
Best Sound Mixing- Wall-E
Best Original Score- Slumdog Millionaire
Best Original Song- Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire)
Best Visual Effects- Benjamin Button
Best Art Direction- Benjamin Button
Best Live Action Short- Newboy*
Best Animated Short- Presto*
Best Documentary Short- The Witness*

I felt like the biggest rob was Penelope Cruz winning best supporting actress even though I picked it. Anne Hathaway definitely deserved it for Rachel Getting Married. I also though Wall-E deserved best original screenplay. A lot of people thought that Sean Penn stole Best Actor from Mickey Rourke and I have to disagree. Mickey Rourke was amazing and he was a close second for me but I didn't forget it was Mickey Rourke as where I forgot it was Sean Penn. I think Sean Penn is weird as anything but he deserved it in my opinion.

You guys watch the Academy Awards? :eek:lol::eek:lol::eek:lol:

PSSSST! The NASCAR race is on.

Watching NASCAR isn't indicative of being a man. I am watching the NBA, but it is actually a real, athletic sport.

Actually I am watching the NBA and flipping over to "Enemy of the State" during breaks.

There are about 20 things I would watch before NASCAR, but the academy awards isn't one of them

In all fairness, Slumdog Millionaire is better than Crash, Million Dollar Baby, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago, and some of the other Best Picture winners in recent past. But there were better movies than those in each of those years and better movies than Slumdog in this year.
