The 81st Oscars was dominated by the small film Slumdog Millionaire.  The film won many Oscars of those best picture, best director, song of the year, and best adaptive screenplay were among the top honors of the night.   These were well deserved awards for a very good movie and if you have not seen it then you should have no excuses now, as it was the top of the class.

The feel good moment of the night belonged to the family of the late departed Heath Ledger, who won for his now stamped performance with Oscar as the “Joker” on the Dark Knight.  However as we all know, Heath Ledger has now left us a mini legacy and a career although cut short will be remembered for generations

Sean Penn stole some gold for his role in Milk for best lead actor.   I had prior feeling he might take this one but Micke Rourke was the comeback hero of the night, despite his loss, he was glorified in Penn’s acceptance speech for the Oscar.

Kate Winslet, what can you say, she won the award for best lead actress and now she is not only a winner but another story for all of us to look up too. I am sure little girls around the country and world watching are now sayin I want to be the next Kate Winslet.

Big cheers for Hugh Jackman, he was a great host did not over power the show and used his fellow actors and actresses when needed.  His tribute to the Musical was fun and entertaining for all of those who love the classic and new Musical movies.

Lastly, but most important WALL-E who should have won some more awards, did win for Best Animated movie. I was happy as my kids loved that movie and for parents too it is a story of heart, courage and love.  Way to go WALL-E!
