You and Allison should take it on the road.<BR/><BR/>Like you I didn't think Slumdog was a sweep-worthy movie, even though I enjoyed it. And I also wanted Mickey Rourke to win. Overall, though, I thought the picks were solid and I really liked some of the format changes, especially the gang-bang presenters on the acting awards. That resulted in very touching, personal moments, some of my favorites of the night.<BR/><BR/>Other highlights for me: Sean Penn's speech, Hugh's opening number (he was much better than I anticipated), and Penelope's cool, hot acceptance.<BR/><BR/>Great night for the Oscars, I thought, and a great night for The Cooler.

I have a hard time sometimes forgetting about the movie star.<BR/><BR/>But, with Sean Penn, despite how famous he is or how A-list he is because of all the great rolls, I never get sidetracked by his persona. I always fall deeply into his characters.<BR/><BR/>Does that make any sense?Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227894503764262908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-66039226274267729422009-02-22T23:39:00.000-05:002009-02-22T23:39:00.000-05:00That's LOVE the Winslett.That's LOVE the Winslett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-48223520285852857012009-02-22T23:38:00.000-05:002009-02-22T23:38:00.000-05:00Allison,Totally agree, her speech is my favorite, ...Allison,<BR/><BR/>Totally agree, her speech is my favorite, save the Japanese sort film guy (OK, joking)...I live the Winslet and am so happy for her.
