The Oscars


As usual , i was up all night watching The Oscars , It was awesome , Hugh Jackman did a great job as the host to my surprise, singing and dancing , he showed he's a versatile talented actor , also making an opening number after the Academy canceled it due to financial cutbacks.Also , Slumdong Millionaire winning like 8 Oscars or something , it was really nice watching the actors standing all together in joy with a sense of achievement , the whole ceremony was great especially Heath Ledger winning a posthumous Oscar which was my favourite part of the night...anyways here are the results :
