I was really pleased with last night's Academy Awards. I thought the way they changed the format was very interesting and Hugh Jackman did a fantastic job hosting. A little sorry that Mickey Rourke didn't get Best Actor, but Sean Penn did a fantastic job in Milk - he deserved it too.

Heath Ledger's posthumous Best Supporting? Slumdog's Best Picture? Goldie Hawn's super-weird-looking boobs? Tell me what you thought!

Boro_Bandito:
I thought Wall-E should have won in every category it was nominated for, including best song. I mean, c'mon, Peter Gabriel?! That song was awesome and I'm going to look it up right now to listen to it.

Other than that I thought that Mickey Rourke should have won lead as well, Even Sean Penn thought so. Not to say that I didn't love Penn, and I'm glad how this year's Oscar ceremonies worked towards honoring everyone who had been nominated rather than just the winners.

And lastly I didn't realize that the girl from Mama Mia was also the idiot one in Mean Girls until my brother pointed it out, and we both laughed and I said while cupping a man-boob "There's a twenty percent chance that its raining right now!"

Ozymandias:
Jackman brought a lot of awesome to the show.

Which was probably the only good decision the Academy made. With the exception of Heath's token dead guy Oscar, TDK was even snubbed in the technical awards.

How lovely for the Academy that they've now managed to find a way to fuck over blockbusters in favor of their bullshit.

Fuck 'em. It's a worthless song and dance anymore.

Boro_Bandito:
Meh, I though TDK should've won for art direction, considering that the movie that actually won in that category was terrible. I think best special effects should've gone to
Iron Man though. Something about that movie, that suit was the best thing ever.

But seriously, Wall-E should've won for sound design and mixing, unlike the other movies nominated Wall-E was completely built from the ground up soundwise, and the results are far more spectacular and realistic than I think a lot of people realize. There is no nat. sound in animation to use as a base, its much harder to work with.

Jackman did a similar thing when he hosted the Golden Globes a couple of years ago, right? Did a Gotta Dance medley I think.

I completely agree! Of course, I might be biased since I've known Ben Burtt's son since we were 6.
