Yes absolutely... It was great feeling to see rahman on oscar stage.. Eventually had goos bumbs when he speaks.. Although felt bit odd when "Mickey rourke" didn't get best actor award.. For me he was far ahead of sean penn..

Best of brad pitt in terms of acting.. Loads of magical camera tricks which put brad pitt older to younger.. Absolute treat to watch.. I also recommend to see "The wrestler" and "Milk".

I'll only say one thing.. "If you miss THE WRESTLER, you surely missing ACTING", Mickey rourke at his best..Not a long movie, but very emotional one... Just manage some time for this movie and you won't regret..

Gosh seems i'm promoting this movie..Where are the producers

Yeh. Even I was disappointed.
Generally, Oscars are fair in this regard.
Like, if iI remember correctly, the year Titanic swept the Awards, the Best Acting awards still went to "As Good As It Gets" (wonderful film it was too).

Well i guess 70th academy awards was fair atleast for best actor and best actress.. Absolute stunning performance of jack.. Though "Good will hunting" was not far... Intot oscars are fair... Nominations in oscars is real good achievement..

Lyrics is not separate category in oscars... Gulzaar sahab and A.R.Rahman together got this award.. But we cannot deny his hard work in Slumdog Millionaire... Way to go gulzaar sahab also..
