      Bill Maher is one of those people that it doesn't matter what he says, he just annoys me. His douchebaggery really is coming out tonight.

        Ledger made Batman a billion dollars. He deserved it.

            That intro tune was "Solace" bny Scott Joplin, which is a masterpiece, IMO. Where are they getting these? They also played Mr. Blue Sky by ELO a minute ago for an outro. WHy?

              The production this year is far better than any I can remember. Slumdog Millionaire is killing it. Weird, I don't think I have ever rooted for a movie to win like I have this one. I loved this movie.

                  Kate Winslet does nothing for me. She's a good actress and quite funny too if any of you have seen her episode of Extras. But I don't find her attractive at all.

                    I haven't seen any of these movies. Generally I don't t like American made movies. What I want to know, is Slumdog Millionaire so popular because of the title?

                      I saw The Visitor, but that is about the only one.

                      I thik interspersing clips from the other movies was not a good idea.

                        What makes you think it's popular?

                          Good show. I'm glad that Slumdog Millionaire swept. Though I have to confess that unlike previous years I haven't seen all the films nominated. But for an awards show, particularly the Oscars, that was well done. Jackman did a good job. I liked the idea of past winners presenting the nominees.

                            Isnt that pretty common? Maybe not, but I seem to recall that this is not unusual.

                              It's been the standard for some time now, I thought. But I don't watch every year.
