Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

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.

    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.

    In any case, if it's by Microsoft I automatically hate it, and if it's for Linux I definitely love it.

    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."
