How’d I do?
Alright.
The show started with Supporting Actress and they didn’t show any clips. They really ticked me off. You want to see the best example of their work in the film. Anyway, I didn’t watch any of these. For the other seventeen…
Winner me:
Original Screenplay – Milk
Art Direction – Ben Button
Costume Design – Dutchess
Makeup – Ben Button
Visual Effects – Ben Button
Sound Editing – Dark Knight
Actress – Kate Winslet
Lose:
Adapted Screenplay Skumdog won over Ben.
Animated Feature I was wrong… Wall-E beat Panda.
Cinematography, apparently a dog is better than some buttons.
Sound Mixing I had Dark Knight, and Skummy McSkum took it.
Supporting Actor: Heath won, as he should have… but Robert would have been awesome.
Score another win for the Slums, not Button.
Director was taken again by a Millionaire that is sweeping Ben out of the way.
Actor Sean did a really great job and I did not expect him to beat Frank.
Best Picture… meh.
Editing. Yes editing. Slumdog Millionaire was a film that was very well edited. I don’t want any mistake on that point. I have not lost faith in Oscar this time. There were five amazing choices for editing this year, and deserved to win. I let my emotions overpower my critical thinking. This film was a journey, and one that I have to admit was very, very smooth. For it is only when the ride is bumpy that we can see that the editing is bad. It was a good ride.
