81st Academy Award Winners

I didn't watch the oscars. I'm on strike cause The Dark Knight wasn't nominated.
I did watch the videos on YouTube though. It looked nice. The performances were super cool. Hugh Jackman did an awesome job as host. Overall Slumdog was the big winner with 8 Oscars, Benjamin Button cries with only 3 but I was so upset when The Dark Knight only won 2. Two!Nice to see Heath Ledger get his Oscar though. Anyways here's the list of winners last night.

  1. Oi you are a leeeeeettle bit biased towards DK lah. Like i've said, all this hullaballoo over DK intensified many many many times, because of the death of Heath Ledger.

    But then I am also a little prejudiced against DK because of all the supposedly wonderful reviews on it and after watching it, it did not meet my very high expectations.
