Oscars 2009 (For Your Consideration)


Recommended Posts

I watched Slumdog yesterday and I thought although it was good, its not 8 Oscars good. I mean it was predictable and there isn't as much emotional substance as I thought it would be, everyone has high praise for it but when I watched it it was just not to my expectations.

Jase does it not to be shopped?, she looked awful :laugh:

There is no filter on Photoshop to improve what we saw, she could of been up for best special FX.

she might not look the best...but dont forget that for 70 year old lady she is a real looker :p

Still shocked that Slumdog won so many, I normally really like Danny Boyle's work, but thought this movie was boring. It was not at all what everyone had hyped it to be. Ah well at least they conceded to public demand and ensured that Heath got his.

Even till now, I just won't want to watch Slumdog Millioniare.. even with all those Acadamy Awards I still refuse to watch it. But the one thing I'm glad is that Heath has his Oscar. Honestly if they did not give it to him, it will be out of disrespect.

I agree, but I'm glad they actually seemed to take the other nominations into account, rather than give it to him just because he died.

Why not?

This man speaks the truth. It was a Hollywood sugarcoated version of City of God. Good, but conventional and nothing was outstanding. Out of the 5 Best Pics, I've only seen this and Benjamin Button, and I thought Button was more deserving.

Trainspotting is still easily Danny Boyle's best work.

Also High School Musical for Best Picture...WTF?

My daughter hates all that High Street Musical this and that.

She says thats all the 'Chavs' talk about in school.

As for the Oscars, just more 'lime-light' for the drama queens.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
