EMOTIONAL MOMENTS IN THE ANNUAL OSCAR CEREMONY...


THE BEST ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: HEATH LEDGER..


I could not just everything about Kate Winslet, Slumdog Millonaire, Benjamin Button and all the other Academy Award winners and skip this very talented young man, Heath Ledger, who won his first Oscar as the best actor in a supporting role with his performance in Dark Knight after his death in 22 January 2008. Eventhough he charmed eveyone with his performance as "Joker", he also made everyone so sad since watching such a talented and ambitious actor on the white screen and knowing the fact that he is dead.. it just makes you feel bad.. He had this very famous line in Dark Knight which is " why so serious?." These lines were for someone who never smiles. After watching the movie you kind of feel like he is saying those words to his life. "I mean why so serious. why? why do you have to be so cruel and serious." His mother, father and sister came up on the stage on behalf of him and made this very emotional speech about their son. We were able to see all the actors and actresses especially Kate Winslet and Angelina Jolie filling with tears.
















SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Slumdog Millonaire had preferred to be the "movie of the year" this year by the Academy. As a member of "awardsacademy" website I highly recommend everyone to take a look at this magnificent movie. Eventhough Benjamin Button was nominated for 13 different awards it was not shocking for at least me to see it getting only three. In a way I was expecting Slumdog to hit the records that night. The reason is Slumdog had never been over exaggurated as Benjamin Button and other reason if we could put these two movies on a scale of artistic value, Slumdog definetely is the one to stand on a higher level.

About the Movie: Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Oscars, also it has another seventy one wins and twenty six nominations. Directed by Dannt Boyle and co-director Loveleen Tandan, Slumdog was released in 30th of August in USA. As soon as it was on the cinemas the movie made a huge success and hit the records. It tells the story of a teenage boy from Mumbai who grow up in a slum quarter of the city. Then he becomes a contestant on this contest which is the Indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire? However later on, he is arrested under suspicion of cheating. While he is being interrogated things from his life is shown in order to explain how he knows all the answers.

Was "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" overlooked by the Academy?
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," was up for a total of 13 nominations which is the second highest of all time, incuding best picture and best director, however it got only 2 which are the "best make up" and "best visual effect" in the magnificent annual Oscar ceremony. Now, the question which keeps spinning in everybody's mind is: " was Benjaming Button" overlooked by the Academy?" The critics were diveded into two before the awards were given. Some of them were pretty confident about Benjamin Button would be the shining star of the night with its Oscars. However the other half was not as confident as the others since they thought such elation could be ended by a bitter reality. Indeed it happened and Slumdog Millionaire survived the night with 8 Oscars. (more details will be added soon)

THE OSCARS 2008 MARION COTILLARD

  • The Oscars were given to their owners in last night's Academy Awards Ceremony. The Holywood stars looked fascinating in their stunning dresses. French actress Marion Cotillard got an Oscar for the "best actress" with her new film "La vie en rose". It was her first nomination for the Academy Awards and surprised everyone. Young actress got shocked when her name was read and her tongue was tied while she was making her speech. " I believe there are still some angels existing in this city" she said and ended her speech with a meaningful sentence. She could not help it and she cried. It obviously was an extraorinary moment and I also do believe she totally deserved the Oscar. Her dress also got a hundred percent from the stylists. She wore a white dress from Jean Paul Gaultier which made her seem like an underwater princess. Here are some pictures of her in the Oscars;
