Last night's Academy Awards played out beautifully with song & dance numbers by the wonderful host Hugh Jackman, joined by many different faces including Anne Hathaway, Beyonce, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and so on. The actual award presentations were great to watch as well as they brought out five past winners in various categories to present the bigger awards for acting in the evening. As for who actually won, Slumdog Millionaire literally became rich last night with eight trophies...and here is the majority of the list:
Best Picutre: Slumdog Millionaire
Best Actor: Sean Penn for Milk
Best Actress: Kate Winslet for The Reader
Best Director: Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire
Best Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz for Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight
Orginial Screenplay: Milk
Adapted Screenplay: Slumdog Milionaire
Animated Feature: WALL-E
Art Direction, Makeup, and Visual Effects: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Costume Design: The Duchess
Sound Mixing, Original Score, Best Song: Slumdog Millionaire
Film Editing & Cinematography: Slumdog Millionaire
Sound Editing: The Dark Knight
Some I agreed with, others not entirely, but overall I believe these films truly all deserved to be nominated & find themselves on a winners list. I thought Waltz with Bashir was an incredible foreign film, but since I have not seen the others on the list, I couldn't get upset with it not winning. Sean Penn was incredible, but I would've given it to Mickey, but Penn did give a great speech. Other wonderful speeches of the night came from Penelope Cruz & Kate Winslet who are always elegant and eloquent and wonderful to just watch. In general the night was full of a lot of energy and I found the ceremony to move along and keep up an entertaining beat for its entirety.
