Oscar Thoughts!

- Hugh Jackman totally stole the show. Forget getting the comedians who just talk through the whole show...I want someone who can sing and dance! I can totally get behind Hugh Jackman as host for every Oscar year.
- I'M WOLVERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!
- Wall-E got away with Best Animated! :D WOOT!
- ...I'm annoyed that it didn't get any other awards, though. It really deserved to win Best Sound Editing or Mixing.
- I kinda wish Oktapodi had won Animated Short. I'll have to see this French film and see how it goes.
- Eddie Murphy, what was the last movie you did that didn't suck?
- Wow okay, the guy that they got to sing "Down To Earth" totally didn't do the song justice. :/
- OH SOB OLLIE JOHNSOOOOOON ;~;
- Okay so, Slumdog Millionaire made out like a...millionaire? I guess I gotta go see that. The 'rents said it was pretty good, if not violent. Oh well, can't be any worse than TDK.
- So yeah, fairly entertaining all in all. MOAR HUGH JACKMAN.

Don't even get me started on how angry I am about how they got shafted.....

The whole other guy singing Down to earth was horrible. I can now understand why Peter Gabriel pulled out at last minute.

I'm writing up an entry of why even the soundtrack deserved to win because quite frankly it was just plain gorgeous music.

*goes off to cry in a corner*

Seriously. D: Six nominations and they only got one of those? I'm glad they got Best Animated, but I was expecting that. The sound really was what helped carry the first half of that movie.

Yeah. D: I feel bad for Peter Gabriel. It was like, the guy who was singing it tried to do it soul-style, but they didn't want to get rid of all the Bollywood dancers for the Slumdog numbers so it just ended up being pseudo-soul stuck in a Bollywood sandwich. D:
