All in all it was a pretty good show. Rourke losing to Sean Penn and Meryl Streep beating out Kate Winslet both suprised me. But what did’t suprise me was Slumdog winning Best Cast in a Motion Picture. That damn movie is an award gathering powerhouse. Yet again though, Heath Ledger wins. I am sorry, but I cant see this as a legit win since he died. Call me an ass, but I would feel much better if he was alive and winning. I just feel since he is dead he is getting more recognition then he should.
