Oscars Reaction: Jackman, Penn, Slumdog

What were your general reactions last night? What do you think of Hugh Jackman as a host? How do you feel about Sean Penn being the only American born actor to have won last night? Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars last night. Do you think they deserved the awards? Considering the economy do you think extravagant awards shows like this are still appropriate?

Slumdog Millionaire IS VERY OVERRATED!!! Yes I'm saying it..the Emperor Has No Clothes!!! It is a good story but IT IS NOT GOOD CRAFT. Whats with the silly dance dance thing during the end credits? This should have gone straight to DVD. I think its an attempt by western film makers to make an Indian style film that would appeal to Westerners and for that it is pretentious. The character portrayal is not enough that you really see them as real you just become an observer to the story.

"for me who is an immigrant in this country, it lifts my hope - oh my GOD THEY WON"

What a tease. She obviously couldn't care less and wanted to get her groceries home and not be bailed up by randomly appearing film crew

"The silly dance during the end credits" as you called it.....it's a bollywood tradition, therefore I believe the director just wanted to pay tribute to Indian films. The character protayal is pretty good for those kids, the cinematography is great plus the originality of the film. You are probably so accostumed to same hollywood and british films you can't tell the diference. I don't blame you...it's all part of the huge monopolized american film industry...
