The 81st Academy Awards (Discussion)

Let’s discuss them before they happen (and then complain again afterwards)!

Here are my comments:

I Haven’t seen a few of the nominated films. But I’m quite disappointing Dark Knight wasn’t acknowledged, it was a major breakthrough of an entire genre, very entertaining and unarguably successful. If the Third Lord of the Rings movie took an Oscar, Dark Knight should be in for sure. I was also surprised Gran Torino didn’t get any mention at all… I thought it was a good movie, the ending especially (Since when is “Best Film Ending” a category anyway?). And I can’t believe Robert Downey Jr. scored a nomination for Tropic Thunder… he gave a good performance, sure, but it seems odd compared with the other nominations.

I think that’s all I have for now. Anyone else?

I really enjoyed the awards ceremony this year. Hugh Jackman did a good job hosting… who knew he could sing? I also liked the format of the previous winners speaking to the nominees for best actor and best supporting actor.

Heath Leger won for his role as the Joker. It was a great performance and he is missed.

Slumdog Millionaire was the best movie I have seen for a long time. It really did stand above the others.
