Oscar Night 2009
Feb 22nd, 2009 by Alan Yu
Like a lot of people I was watching the Oscar Awards tonight for all the 2008 films. The format of the show was pretty well done I thought with things like the musicals and old winners talking about the current nominees.
Of course, as you all may know too Slumdog millionaire won the best motion picture category. Kind of cool how a movie with a very limited budget compared to other big feature productions has accomplished a lot huh? The story telling aspect of the presentation of the Oscar show in general was interesting too.
It is still ways to go I thought until we see any mainstream Asian actors become serious contenders for items like the best actor award.
Ever heard of Ben Kingsley?
He won best actor for the movie Ghandi.
