81st Annual Academy Awards

Another succesful year for the Academy Awards...The winners of the 81st Annual Academy Awards are..

BEST PICTURE:
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE


Absolutely deserving. Love it. Love it. Love it. It really has a story, not just a story but it seemed like you are actually part of a story. Very Simple not so much not so much made for Oscar like Benjamin Button.

BEST DIRECTOR:
DANNY BOYLE FOR SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

No question...very transparent approach but I think he missed
in-depth characterization thats why they dont have a thickline
for acting awards but otherwise...utterly captivating.

BEST ACTRESS:
KATE WINSLET FOR THE READER

Finally she won, I love Kate Winslet. She can really blow all scenes
with her british accent and whatever role she may portray is really
real. She has been always a nominee but never won and finally now she did. The threat was Meryl Streep for Doubt. She was obviously a winner but I think the Academy think Kate deserves it...and she did.

The director was Stephen Daldry, he always direct a nice feminism role and he is also the one who directed Nicole Kidman in The Hours that gave Nicole her Best Actress award.

BEST ACTOR:
SEAN PENN FOR MILK

The role was supposedly given to Tom Cruise but he declined because
he chose Valkyrie..well sad to say he could have hold that gold oscar award right now but it's really Sean Penn's acting that gained him his 2nd win. Mickey Rourke is also deserving but being a nominee is almost like a winner...what more could you ask for.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
PENELOPE CRUZ FOR VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

I dont know about this film but I think she was portraying a prostitute or something like sensual as if the likes Erin Brokovich that gained Julia Roberts her first nod Oscar...well' she's really not my bet...I'm
eyeing for Amy Adams for Doubt. Amy Adams is a versatile actress, watch out for her, putting her on good films is a threat she can
sweep the awards and if not..well she might do another Enchanted or Enchanted 2 perhaps..She reminds me of Julie Andrews...and I think she's a threat.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
HEATH LEDGER FOR THE DARK KNIGHT

This is so obvious, it's a hall of famer everywhere...Sad to say
Heath cannot already render a speech. If only they have recognized
Heath Ledger on Brokeback Mountain and give him the best actor award before he died... it was never too late..but as they say the you will only remembered if you're gone. Its True.

Other Winners....

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: MILK
BEST ANIMATION FILM: WALL-E
