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.

Oh yeah, I completely agree. I really felt that especially Wall-E deserved to be up there more than some of the other films that were nominated, and it does suck that the animated films keep getting shafted because they're not "seeeeeeerious" enough for whatever somehow qualifies as Best Drama Released In December Picture.

I was totally expecting Wall-E to get Sound Mixing, because yeah, that movie was practically carried with sound throughout the first half. I totally forget what did win...was it Slumdog again?

What kills me is Wall-E LOOKS like it should have been up there! It looks just as serious as any of those other ones! It's like...fuck, did they even WATCH the movie? You are SMACKED with a pretty serious message most of the time, yet you don't even really realize it because it's not preachy and you're too busy focused on how adorable Wall-E is. While you're busy going "awwww :)" the whole time to Wall-E and Eve, you're also having "Haha, look at how you've destroyed Earth with all your crap, humans, and instead of cleaning it up, you abandoned it to become fat consumer driven whores on another planet ran by robots because you're too lazy to take any type of charge in your inevitably short lives 8D" delivered to you. alkasjdfnlksdfnsdf COME ON, THAT'S AWESOME XD
...maybe that's why they didn't nominate it. Too much truth for them to handle XD

I don't even know. Either TDK or Slumdog. Something that DIDN'T FUCKING DESERVE TO WIN, that's for sure. I think it was Slumdog, though. I wanna see those other films try to pull of their plots and get their characters across in mostly silence, and see if they still deserve that award >:(

I know, right? Isn't that the mark of a really amazing film? That there is this really relevant message behind it, but it's not preached at you, because the core of the film is who the characters are and their relationships.

Ffffff I think I'll be more upset if TDK got it. Not that it wasn't a good movie, but seriously that movie was going to make me deaf. Every gunshot sounded like AN EXPLOSION IN MY EEEEEAAAARRRR. And there were a crapload of gunshots.
