I am apparently behind you guys since I’m streaming online.
was it funny to anyone else that jennifer aniston was sitting right behind sean penn? suck it, pitt/jolie.
THANK FUCK.
Downloading the Frost / Nixon interviews right now, btw. Will post a link when they’re done.
i will be okay with Milk, Frost/Nixon or Slumdog Millionaire to win, however Milk totally deserves it.
just seeing the little girl in the red jacket from schindlers list made me want to bawl.
Aaaaand Slumdog rakes it in. I’m just glad it wasn’t The Reader.
ugh, okay i guess so – and they did do a pretty decent sweep, so i can agree with it.
i am glad Penn won For Milk though – he was incredible.
Whoah, I went to wikipedia to see if biopics typically win or lose best picture when nominated (they win plenty), and they’ve already updated everything. Crazy.
It was just nice seeing all the kids up there when Slumdog won. That dude that played the older Salim needs to be in more movies playing a slimey bad mother fucker. Dude has a look to him.
And Will Smith said, “boom goes the dynamite”. That was fucking great.
