Kate Winslet won for the Reader!
The Oscars were meh this year. I’m not sure what the whole musical approach was about.. made it feel like it was the Tony’s not so much the Oscars. A few parts were funny though. The opening act was pretty good and Steve Martin and Tina Fey were funny. They’d make great hosts! I don’t think I liked the 5 previous best actor winners presenting the award… I feel like they made it more about the past than about the current movie… I’d rather see a scene from the movie with the best actor nominee in it!
So excited that Kate Winslet won for The Reader. I really liked that movie and I think she did an awesome job. Also really happy with Sean Penn’s win for Best Actor for Milk. I never heard the story of Harvey Milk before, it was really inspiring to watch.
Maybe next year I’ll try to be a seat filler. We’ll see…
oscar departed
departed won the most oscars this year. i agree! 
was it just me or were the oscars not as glamorous this year? am i just numb from it all at this point? felt like there weren’t a lot of big stars/glamour/excitement…
I need to get through more films!
I haven’t seen enough Oscar nominated films yet! I want to at least get through most of the best picture category. I saw Little Miss Sunshine and The Departed. I liked Little Miss Sunshine for what it was. But I loved The Departed it was such a great film. Haven’t seen one that good in a long time. It filled me suspense cramps. I didn’t really love Mark Wahlberg’s acting, was more impressed with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson.
I’m planning on seeing The Queen and Babel before the awards and anything else I can get to next. If I can get in Little Children, Notes on a Scandal, and Blood Diamond that would be awesomeness. I really want to see those.
