Ditto on Heath Ledger. He deserved an Oscar for Brokeback Mt, not that
Batman piece of dreck. FRANC

Overall, I think it was a more entertaining show than in past years.
My only complaint would be the obituaries which I was unable to read
even on a 37" HD flatscreen screen. I thought it moved petty fast,
Hugh Jackman was personable and charming, and the awards were
uniformly well selected. I do wonder, however, if I am the only one
who was underwhelmed by Heath Ledger as The Joker and feel his award
was strictly a sympathy vote (I didn't even like the movie in the
first place). As to SLUMDOG, I think it was probably the best film.
Past years winners like DRIVING MISS DAISY, RAIN MAN, FOREST GUMP --
to name a few, really didn't deserve the award, in my opinion, but
SLUMDOG was an outstanding, original film and I'm glad to see the
Oscars award Best Picture to a really original, moving, well-put
together film.
