    Micky Rourke deserved that Oscar more than Sean Penn. Thats all I have to say.

    Found this in one of Roto's LJ entries--


    To be honest, I never understood the appeal of anything out of Hollywood-- and I probably never will.

    That's a pretty narrow-minded view. Two words for you, The Godfather. And god knows I could quote plenty of other films. It's not all mindless remakes and bone-headed romantic comedies.

    Anyway,as for the awards, I was a little pleased to see Slumdog Millionaire get the big prizes. It's very good, but not amazing. But it was nice to see it win, I have a soft spot for 'small' films like that. And it doesn't smell of Oscar bait like The Reader and Benjamin Button seemed to do.

    Overall, few surprises, aside from Mickey Rourke being robbed of Best Actor. Sean Penn was great in Milk but I just felt Rourke deserved this one.

    Whoever writes Kate Winslet's speeches should be put down. And seeing as they're clearly not written, Kate Winslet should henceforth be banned from all award ceremonies. I mean really, "suck it Meryl"? Nice one, Kate.

    What speech were you watching? Kate basically said that she was honored and amazed to even have her name recognized alongside a screen legend like Meryl Streep. :o She called her fellow nominees, goddesses.
