This year's Oscar broadcast was better than last year's because America was entertained and the show made America forget their economic troubles for a few hours. Hugh Jackman did a good job as the host and his musical numbers were not over the top. He didn't make fun of Brad and Angelina. He can sing...I hope that he will host the Oscars again next year. The night belonged to a movie that created huge buzz "Slumdog Millionaire". It won eight Oscars including Best Picture. The whole world even everybody in Mumbai, the setting of the movie, celebrated the movie's victory. Kate Winslet won her Best Actress Oscar for "The Reader" and her acceptance speech was thankfully under a minute. Kate thanked her family and friends. You thought that Mickey Rourke will win Best Actor at the Oscars...shockingly, Sean Penn won for "Milk". I bet that Mickey was very upset but he was gracious and congratualted Mr. Penn on his Oscar win. The emotional highlight of the night was Heath Ledger's family accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "The Dark Knight". It earned a standing ovation from the audience at the Kodak Theatre and brought everyone to tears. Heath Ledger died too soon last year. If he is still with us, he would grace our TV screens and thanked everyone. Penelope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress and she was the odds on favorite. In my opinion, the ratings were better than last year. Hopefully, next year's show will garner at least 45 to 50 million viewers.
What do you think of this year's Oscar show?
