OSCAR.com - 81st Annual Academy Awards - Nominees

[*~ Caz ~*]

Heath Ledgershould definitely win. His performance was outstanding! But I don't think he will. They don't usually go for films like The Dark Knight do they.

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ He will!! I guarantee hes won!

[*~ Caz ~*]

I know the film is brilliant, but do you think The Dark Knight would have been up for any oscars if Heath Ledger hadn't died. I don't know, I think it would have been 50/50 if you know what I mean.

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ Hell yeah it would. Heaths performance was absolutely amazing! It doesn't matter that hes dead, he would still have been nominated and won if he was still with us now. He deserves it!

[*~ Caz ~*]

^ he's up against some really good actors and films that have come out this year but you never know what the future holds....

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ I do... I predict that the future holds and Oscar for Heath Ledger. lol

[*~ Caz ~*]

^ if you say so ;d

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ That i do my friend. And i know I'm right

[*~ Caz ~*]

^ Lol You can't know a 100% he's gunna win. But I hope he does

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ Carrie-Ann... ohhhh Carrie-Ann.... such a small mind ;d I know everything my love. I see the future!

jokin about the small mind btw ;d

[●..Chuck..●]

I KNEW HEATH WOULD WIN!! DIDN'T I TELLY YOU!! lol

Last night was so predictable...

OK First, Hugh Jackman was HILARIOUS breaking out into song last night. He did his own little short musical on all the movies that are are up for Oscar's that night!! I LOVED IT! He wasn't a bad singer either lol

I liked the Wall.E cartoon were he put in the tape and watched all the animated movies out last year.

Ohh and the Pineapple express clip was FUCKING HILARIOUS!! ;D ;D They did a special clip and watched movies that were not at the Oscars that night. And they just laughed at the none funny ones ;D and when a gay clip came on they were so quite and nearly crying watching it ;D ;D IT WAS HILARIOUS!! GOOD WAY TO SHOW COMEDY THIS YEAR!!

Beyonce and Hugh Jackman singing the musicals out over the years, that was amazing!! She did it so well!! I LOVED IT!!

Ohh and Queen Latifah singing that song to all the celebrity's that have passed away this year. That was quite emotional. I know they showed Bernie Mac. But i don't remember seeing Heath Ledger in that video they showed.

That Slumdog millionaire and Wall.E performance was sooo good!! I was moving along to the music and have a fun time watching that!! IT was fun. Ohh and i have to mention the Music performers!! ITS SO TRUE!! MUSIC CHANGES A FILM COMPLETELY and when they had the band in they showed a video and they played music to all the different films, it amazed me what a little music would do.

I have to mention two people who were presenting...

Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Aniston.

Rob: Bless him so much!! He looked so nervous last night and he was figiting and i couldn't really understand what he was saying!! I just wanted to give him a big hug!! It was nice seeing him there last night! I also noticed he watched the whole thing!! He was sat behind Mickey Rourke. hehe

Jennifer: OMG She kept messing up her lines in places she looked so uncomfortable being on that stage and i don't blame her one bit!! WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO PLACE BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!! CRUEL!! She tried her best to keep it together though! She was brave talking in front of them like that.



Winners: It didn't surprise me at all that Heath Ledger won! He deserved it! R.I.P Heath!!! YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS TRULY LEGENDARY!

KATE WINSLET FINALLY WON AN OSCAR!! BLESS HER! Again this was predictable, but it was still nice for her to finally get an award.

And lastly...

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE CLEANED UP LAST NIGHT! THEY TOOK NEARLY EVERY AWARD THEY WERE UP FOR AWAY!! GOOD ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERALL... BRILLIANT NIGHT!! I'm so glad i stayed up to watch it all!!



Ohh and we should expect LOADS of fantastic films out this year!!! THEY SHOWED LOADS OF LITTLE CLIPS OF MOVIES!! THIS YEARS GUNNA BE GOOD FOR MOVIES!

[●..Chuck..●]

Ohh and one more thing. The set's last night were SOOOO GOOOOOD!! Amazing effort that they put into last night!! LOVED IT!

[Canadiandude]

They put Angie and Brad up front on purpose I think. I felt bad for Jen, she looked pretty hot I must say. But she was nervous as fuck twittering and trying to keep a calm face. I saw Angelina just smiling away, I couldn't help but think there was a conspiracy against Jen lol. I watched Slumdog Millionaire with my family while it was winning awards, it really is a good movie.

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ I wasn't the only one who picked up on that then... it was fucking horrible how they put Brad and Angelia in front of her. Bless her, she tried her best to get through it but she was so uncomfortable.

[Canadiandude]

she looked amazingly hot in that dress too!!

I've also noticed that she looks hotter these days since she left Brad.

[●..Chuck..●]

^^ She did look hot!! Shes lucky, shes a women who gets prettier the more she ages..

[*~ Caz ~*]

^ I agree she does look better and her dress was amazing. I thought her and Jack Black were funny though. I liked what they did. OMG AND BEN STILLER!!!! BRILLIANT WHAT HE DID MAKING FUN OF JOAQUIN PHOENIX WITH THE FAKE BEARD ON AND EVERYTHING I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING ;D ;D And I felt so sorry for Heath family but he did deserve the award, his peformance in The Dark Knight was unbelieveable. And Kate Winslet so deserved that award after this being her 6th nomonation and she won! And I couldn't believe the amount of awards that Slumdog Millionaire won. I did not see that coming.

It annoys me that most of the jokes aren't even that funny lol Oh and I also thought Hugh Jackman was a great host. I loved that big singing peformance he did with Beyonce, Zack Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper. They all sounded amazing. AND I actually saw the whole thing! lol I didn't even get tired lol

[●..Chuck..●]

It was an amazing night over all!! I have never watched the Oscars before and i really enjoyed watching it! It was so fun and they put on a great show

[*~ Caz ~*]

^ yeah they did. I've seen better presenters though but Hugh Jackman was good. I didn't even se Rob lol I have no idea why ;d ;d
