She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, IMO, but that woman is divine.  oh c'moooon, Lamm....she can act a lil' bit...she's just stuck in the "I can only emote as a down&out, hysterical woman trapped in the bastion of societal misery" cycle...it's been a 15 year long cycle, but still | |

hes the male version of Susan Sarandon.  He did deserve an Oscar several times before but not for Milk. One of his weaker movies. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

I thought the show was rather poor.
I felt sorry for Hugh Jackman. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

And a lot of awards went to wrong ppl.
Most atrocious mistakes: Best Supporting Actress Penny Cruz - ummm, what??? Anybody from Doubt should have won. Best Movie Slumdog was such a poor movie. Really. The Reader. Original Screenplay - Frozen River robbed. But it was worth for the acceptance speech. The only award that I really applauded was for a documentary feature (though presented by a complete duche). Man on Wire was the best movie I saw all year. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

unique said: MY PREDICTIONS - I WONT EDIT THIS
so u can see in the morning if i'm right or wrong Actor in a Leading Role - Sean Penn - correct Actor in a Supporting Role - Heath Ledger - correct Actress in a Leading Role - Kate Winslet - correct Actress in a Supporting Role - Penelope Cruz - correct Animated Feature Film - Wall E - correct Art Direction - Benjamin Button - correct Cinematography - Benjamin Button - slugdog millionaire Costume Design - Revolutionary ROad - the dutchess Directing - Benjamin Button - slumdog millionaire Documentary Feature - Man On Wire - correct Documentary Short - smile pinki Film Editing - Slumdog Millionare - correct Foreign Language Film - The Witness - departures Makeup - Benjamin Button - correct Music (Score) - Slumdog Millionaire - correct Music (Song) - Down To Earth Wall E - slumdog Best Picture - Benjamin Button - slumdog Short Film (Animated) - This Way Up - la maison Short Film (Live Action) - Spegeiland - correct Sound Editing - Slumdog Millionaire - the dark knight Sound Mixing - The Dark Knight - slumdog Visual Effects - Benjamin Button - correct Writing (Adapted Screenplay) - Slumdog Millionaire - correct Writing (Original Screenplay) - In Bruges - milk due to my disagreement over slumdog i've had the worst year of picking winners. i thought the academy members wouldn't have been swayed by the hype of that movie and picked benjamin button as the best picture. i got the sound awards the wrong way around, and i thought the dutches would have won, but i thought that period costume dramas don't have to win every time. i also thought slumdog would probably win best song for the last song in the movie, but it was more an audio visual mix thus i choose wall E for purely song reasons | |

The actor that people think is Shaft (Richard Roundtree) is actually Richard DoQui. He acted for over 30 years but the thing I most remember him for is the part of the sergeant in the RoboCop movies. | |

That's where I remember him from. The first time I remember seeing him was in Coffy with Pam Grier. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

Can someone tell me why that "Man On Wire" dumbass had to run up there and do a coin trick and balance the Oscar on his face? He didn't even win the award.
Or is it just because he's an attention-whoring lunatic?  | |

I didn't see the whole spectacle, but this was the first time I REALLY enjoyed watching it! I had a big smile on my face the entire time.
I loved the more intimate atmosphere, the artsy way how they presented the nominees and, of course, Hugh Jackman! 
A very successful change of an otherwise pretty stiff and dull show to see. | |

Bernie Mac died?!?  I must have been in a box.
Good to see Departures taking out best foreign when up against The Class and Waltz with Bashir. Favorite film of '08  I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

A very successful change of an otherwise pretty stiff and dull show to see. I was actually dreading watching the Oscars this year because I thought it would be so boring I would fall asleep   but I was quite pleasantly surprised with Hugh Jackman. He gave some good energy, he kept the pace of the show up, and he didn't rely on corny canned material.  Having said that, I think that the Oscars can only be improved so much because there are too many categories that drag down the show which the average viewer doesn't care about (best art direction, best sound editing, best documentary/short form, etc.). At least with the Grammys and the Tony Awards you can get a lot of potentially great performances out of it.
I get the feeling that the TV critics will heap tons of praise on Hugh Jackman, yet this Oscar telecast will still be the lowest rated and least watched ever.  | |

And I think this is the first time her age was truly noticeable. The fact that her gown was tragic did not help. Hey...don't be hating on Sophia...the woman is 75 years old!!!  | |
