Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars 317
Ben Burtt was robbed of his overly deserved Oscars for the sound on Wall-E, and Heath Ledger's Joker unsurprisingly got a posthumous statue, but the big winner for the night was Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire with Picture, Director, Song, and five others. Go ahead movie nerds: talk amongst yourself.

I added this to my /etc/hosts.deny file:
entertainment.slashdot.org
but I think I got a virus because when I restarted firefox, I heard Christian Bale "Oh, GOOD for you, and how was it? I hope it was fucking good because firefox is useless now isn't it? Fuck's sake man, you're amateur..."

Celebrities live in a different world. It's kinda like a snow globe filled with lithium and cocaine. In their world it is the most prestigious award.

Much more compelling performance....

I dunno, I actually enjoy news articles like this sometimes. It's a welcome surprise from all the Linux zealotry/Microsoft bashing this site is used to.
Bah....in the old days we would add Mac Fanboyism to the mix and call it a night. We were happier back then.

You say that now, but you'll change your mind when Twitter and Co get all deep and meaningful about The Hottie and The Nottie [imdb.com]

Slumdog was a gangster movie with a love interest and a game show hook. It is by the numbers.
Oh, absolutely. I can't tell you how sick I am of the unending stream of gangster romance movies set against game shows.
As I was watching Slumdog I could not stop thinking that this movie must be incredibly offensive to Indian people, and I don't know that much about India.
How very enlightened and noble of you. I'm sure that the world's 1.1 billion Indians will sleep better knowing that you've taken time out of your day to be offended on their behalf.
