Penelope Cruz spoke in spanish.... She spoke really fast, I didn't understand what she said. I didn't expect La Maison to win... it didn't look very good. I liked that Wall-E won something.. i'm not really paying attention to who wins what... i just know someone won something...lol... i don't usually watch the academy awards.

Penelope Cruz just said that her Award was also for Spain and for all Spaniard actors and artists.
I knew Wall-e was gonna win that one.

I'm taking a break from sorta-watching it.

I'm glad that Wall-E won something so far but I'm kinda disappointed that Kung-fu Panda hasn't won yet.

I've noticed so far that whenever the curious case of benjamin button, slumdog millionaire, milk, or the wrestler are up for something then the other movies that category don't have a prayer.

I hope tropic thunder, bolt, kung-fu panda, and dark knight win too.

I'm so glad Heath Ledger got an award. My parents keep saying that they only gave it to him because he's dead, but I really think his performance was spectacular.
Yay for him :)

Heath Ledger definitely deserves that award. ^^ He was just so amazing in The Dark Knight, it's like he's not even acting lol. 8-) He was definitely the PERFECT Joker. Noone could ever replace Heath! It's just such a shame that he died. R.I.P Heath Ledger!
