Oscars 2009



This year's Oscar show was pretty much dominated by Slumdog Millionaire and rightfully so. Winner of 8 Academy Awards for Best Motion Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Original Score, Original Song, Editing, Director, Cinematography, and Sound mixing.

Kudos to Danny Boyle. His smile was a refreshing sight during all of the press events leading up the ceremony. I've been a fan of his since I saw Trainspotting many years ago.

Unfortunately this was another year of weak films considering the other nominations in the Best Motion Picture category (Milk, The Reader, Frost/Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).

It's just too bad that Wall-E wasn't nominated in the Best Motion Picture category. Such a shame.
