Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars
Ben Burtt was robbed of his overly deserved Oscars for the sound on Wall-E, and Heath Ledger's Joker unsurprisingly got a posthumous statue, but the big winner for the night was Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire with Picture, Director, Song, and five others. Go ahead movie nerds: talk amongst yourself.
I think that really did it.
Oh no! You were exposed to the same information from two different sources!
Call homeland security! This gross indecency must end!

but I think I got a virus because when I restarted firefox, I heard Christian Bale "Oh, GOOD for you, and how was it? I hope it was fucking good because firefox is useless now isn't it? Fuck's sake man, you're amateur..."
Celebrities live in a different world. It's kinda like a snow globe filled with lithium and cocaine. In their world it is the most prestigious award.

That blows. I was rooting for Apu in the Simpson's Movie.
Much more compelling performance....
Apu was robbed!!!
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
In any case, if it's by Microsoft I automatically hate it, and if it's for Linux I definitely love it.

OOh, how scary, a British film about Indians won an American awards ceremony! First the president, now this! Soon EVERYONE will be brown! The extinction of the goths is imminent!
I dunno, I actually enjoy news articles like this sometimes. It's a welcome surprise from all the Linux zealotry/Microsoft bashing this site is used to.
Bah....in the old days we would add Mac Fanboyism to the mix and call it a night. We were happier back then.
You say that now, but you'll change your mind when Twitter and Co get all deep and meaningful about The Hottie and The Nottie
Slumdog was a gangster movie with a love interest and a game show hook. It is by the numbers.
Oh, absolutely. I can't tell you how sick I am of the unending stream of gangster romance movies set against game shows.
As I was watching Slumdog I could not stop thinking that this movie must be incredibly offensive to Indian people, and I don't know that much about India.
How very enlightened and noble of you. I'm sure that the world's 1.1 billion Indians will sleep better knowing that you've taken time out of your day to be offended on their behalf.
I think Brian Williams put it best about the Oscars during Friday's newscast:
"It's the day where the west coast pretends what they do actually matters."
Apu was robbed!!!
That's nothing new, really. The Kwik-E-Mart gets robbed all the time.
