I think Hugh Jackman is a really talented guy caught last night in the
midst of a Hollywood wet dream. The show was awful and boring. I
couldn't believe the incompetence of the obituaries in which you
couldn't discern the names or images of the people being honored and
Queen Latifa had to sing about twenty choruses of "I'll Be Seeing You".
And frankly, Slumdog Millionaire is over-hyped. I understand that the
award is a nod to the ever-expanding emerging markets in India and
Pakistan but I thought the film was only okay. All the other nominees
were far superior. I would have given the best picture award to
Frost/Nixon or Milk. Glad Sean Penn won best actor over the also
over-hyped performance of Mickey Rouke. Sometimes the voters don't like
to be told that a certain actor or actress has an award all sown up and
that's what I think happened with Rouke. I stayed through the end of
the show with the help of the Fast Forward on my remote control but it
was one long snooze. FRANC
