It's always nice to rant about the good,bad n the ugly after every party!!
GOOD MOMENTS IN THE 81st ACADEMY AWARDS:
Rahman winning the golden man was definitely an up moment.It had my mom jumping!!Got to give it to rahman..tat definitely was the best moment of the show.His acceptance speech was a lil disappointing though,he didnt go goo-goo ga-ga over India n tamil etc,etc... watch him.....

Hugh n Beyonce put up a good show of the year's musicals...didn't know Jackson could sing!

Thumbs up to Will Smith....the stage did get a notch hotter when he came on...(was it just Will or the action packed sequences he presented!)

The idea of having five past winners introduce the nominees in the four acting categories was a stoke of genius.It brought class and comaradeship to the sometimes tacky contest,and it meant that every nominee was treated with respect and affection.
Steve Martin n Tina Fey presenting the award for the 'Best Original Screenplay' was hilarious!!Steve's 'Dont fall in love with me",their made up religion had me in splits...Steve is definitely the funniest guy around.

The sneak shots of Meryl Streep was a treat,(I'm a huge fan).She's one hellava woman,for those of u who haven't seen her act(if there is anyone at all!!),u simply must watch 'Devil wears Prada'.She can make being nasty to the bone a much desirable quality...

Penelope Cruz looked all stunning n beautiful winning the 'Best Supporting Actress' for the movie.Her spanish was a great add-on,though it was all gibberish to me!!

The oscar for Smile Pinkie was a good move.A plastic surgeon today can earn BIG BUCKS,its not an easy joke instead to go around helping poor kids wid clefts...these modern-day fairy godmothers out of a cinderella tale deserve all the applause!

A much deserved award to Mr.Jerry Lewis.
The best moment of all was when the entire crew of SDM got up on stage.That was definitely a 'Time to celebrate' moment.It was good to see all of them smiling away up there.

WELL GROOMED!
Angelina Jolie is definitely the hottest woman on the planet!!The emerald earings n ring...nobody would've missed those out!!
Brad wasn't at his best but he did don his suit well n certainly stood up to his lady's worth.
Alicia Keys presenting the oscar for 'The best original song' n 'The best original music score' looked stunning wid her waves.
Penelope Cruz was a barbie doll!
Sean Penn winner of 'The best actor' award didn't let anyone down..But wats wid the political speech at the oscars!
Our SDM hero Dev was all young and smart.
The new bond,not exactly my hot favorite,but Mr.Bond did dress up for the oscars.
Frieda Pinto didnt disappoint any of the SDM fans!
Everything about Miss.Croft was perfect on the big night,her hair,jewllery,gown n the look!
Kate's chic n formal hair-do made me forgive her 'I'm just outta batman' outfit.
Miss.Pinto wins again for her clever hair-do and the beautiful earings she was raving about.
I frankly can't recognise the lady in the centre,but whoever she is,she's got oomph earings!
Drew Barrymore cute as always,though she,looks like she just got out of a tussle.
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
Will someone tell me why is Beyonce wearing the dining room drapery of her new home!!
Whatever happened to the cuto Adrian Brodie!
Hope someone's told mickey why he probably didnt win the oscar!
Looks like he decided half way through his dressing that he'll attend the oscars itnstead of going skiing!
Wat!!Wat did Mr.Boyle do???Guess he was too excited about all his nominations that he just couldn't get his mind on other trivial issues!!
To wrap it up,the oscars 2009 was definitely worth the watch.It was complete oscar style,the glitz and the glamour wid a few good additions.And it did strike a cord with so many Indians up there on the stage.
