So, the Oscars have just ended, and the greatest people in movies have been celebrated.


Slumdog Millionaire really swept it up tonight. It was surprisingly affecting to see them win so many awards; I actually felt genuine happiness whenever Slumdog got an Oscar.

I also have to give props to my birthplace, Japan, for winning 2 Oscars! One for best animated short, one for best foreign film. The "domo arigato, Mr. Roboto" line was great.

Of course, Ledger won for Best Supporting, which was no surprise. Odd, though, that they should have his grieving family accept the award.

Overall, this year's Oscars were pretty good. I thought Hugh Jackman did a fine job as host, and I liked how previous Oscar winners would present the nominees for the Actor awards.

So...thoughts?

I was kinda put off by the Slumdog hysteria. I think WALL-E should've gotten best score. But I haven't seen Slumdog so I guess my opinion is slightly skewed.

Super pissed that Mickey Rourke didn't win best actor. The rest of it was pretty "meh" for me, given that I haven't seen most of the films in question.
