Oscar Awards 2009 - Slumdog Millionaire won 8 !

(click at this picture to see the bigger one.)



First, I have to say..... my expectations are all correct ! Woooo ! Let's celebrate for the successful of Slumdog Millionaire which won 8 Oscar !!!!! My expectations are all correct except Departures - a Japanese drama film that I haven't ever watched (but really really want to). My expectation in Best foreign language film of the year would go to The Baader Meinhof Complex or Waltz With Bashir or The Class. Anyways, I think, Departures might be cool as well.

One of my classmate, Jump is a big-fan of Heath Ledger. I don't know why but he always tell everyone that Heath Ledger is freaking awesome, especially in “The Dark Knight” (although I usually tell him that Brokeback Mountain is much more weird ! hehehehehe).
And Mine really adore Anne Hathaway. I used to argue with her that who is better between Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson in Bride War although I really don't want to see Bride War at all (it's not my type anymore !!!). I don't mean that Hathaway doesn't work but I love to see Miss Penny Lane much more Princess Mia ! (The Princess Diaries used to be one of my favourite books-films. POOR MOOK !). I love Almost Famous and its soundtrack - Rock 'n' Roll is back girls !

Anyways, ............
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, THIS TUE - CAN'T WAIT !
