...does anyone care?
For a full list of results look here.
This was one of the more predictable Oscars in recent memory with most, if not all, of the favourites winning. I am sure that debate will rage online for a few more days about the merits of the awards but that seems a little pointless.
For my two cents, it was great to see that, after all of the speculation, Heath Ledger did win for best supporting actor. It was an unhinged performance and, with his majestic turns in Brokeback Mountain and the smaller film Candy, it is a shame that we will not see how far he could have taken his talent. And, like many others I will now have to run out and catch-up with Slumdog Millionaire (I was planning to regardless of it's win - honest!).
In all of the post-Oscar excitement I did want to recommend another film which may get lost in the noise: Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In) is showing at The Paramount in Wellington (sorry, not sure about further afield). It is a terrifically low-key, atmospheric, horror/drama that is a joy to experience on the big screen with an audience. I will write a full review later in the week but it really will be gone very quickly; it lasted about a week in Auckland! If you like horror, or just a good (foreign) flick, then check it out!
