It was Slumdog Millionaire's night for sure. Best Picture, Best Director, even Best Original Song. But even more amazing is that it is actually wrapping up on time. I'm typing this from the West Coast, and having watched the show from the East Coast for the last 7 years, I'm still disorientated from leaving off before midnight.
I still think Wall-E was the best movie of last year, but am not surprised that Academy wasn't ready to give an animated film a Best Picture nomination. There have been solid animated films before, but Wall-E smashed through barriers in terms of complexity of the shots, use of focus and close-up, and a multilayered plot.
And yet, I do have to admit: Jai Ho is a catchy tune.
