I'm looking forward to see RDJ won the Best Supporting Actor, received it, announced that he don't deserves it, had it to Heath Ledger instead. Bring on the DRAMAAAA!

@mikumiku: You mean "hand it to Heath Ledger's relatives instead." I hope.

Does the phrase, "No way in hell," have any meaning for ya? Slumdog belongs in the best foreign film category, not best picture. I'm hoping the protests in India turn violent, and forever taint the proceedings.

@cash907: The Oscars don't have a best foreign film category. It's best foreign-language film. If most of the movie's dialogue is in English, it's eligible for Best Picture; similarly, if you made a movie in the US with all US citizens, but if it was in a non-English language, that'd be in the foreign language part.

I haven't seen all of the other films nominated, so it's possible it's better than some of them, but The Dark Knight really doesn't deserve Best Picture or Best Director. For all the awesomeness it contained, it had too many flaws, and just didn't come together as a complete film the way it should have. Batman Begins was superior as a film, even though it didn't have the awesome ingredients TDK had.

Also...In Bruges for Best Screenplay, please.

@Dormouse is a Contrarian: @DrEmilioLizardo: If you guys like it, then I highly recommend, should the opportunity ever come up, seeing Martin McDonogh's plays in the theater. Especially The Pillowman and The Cripple of Inishman.
