I must have missed it at the beginning. Speed Racer got a lot of crap but it was better than a lot of the other films in that montage.

So I'm gonna guess Ledger was the only win it will snag.

Still can not understand how they show clips for tech awards but not for acting.

Benjamin Button was a definite win

If you go by most of the experts, this is Button's last win tonight (3).

I think it goes something like this - for a group of folks who in some areas claim to be so open-minded about things, they sure are judgmental in other areas!

I think that's the point of these montages.

I missed the first hour, was there outrage over Milk beating In Bruges for Best Original Screenplay? That's the only award I really cared about this year, and I can't see how Milk was even in the league of In Bruges.

All 8 remaining TDK fanboys watching must be upset over TDK being shut out so far (side from Ledger of course)

TDK can still win the Sound awards.

I'll guess Slumdog.

Wall*E deserves this.

There was a bit. In Bruges was one of my favorite movies of last year, but what can do.

TDK's second. I'm surprised.

I was outraged (and I think a couple of folks were)... but there was a whole prop8 statement to be made.

Hey, Dark Knight finally won something else!

Richard King won an award in the same category for Master and Commander.

TDK over WALL-E???


For SOUND EDITING?!?!?!?


Someone's getting punched in the twat for this. :mad:

Sweet, glad TDK won sound editing.

Mr. Cinema 02-22-09 09:30 PM

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 
I picked TDK here. I did go with Slumdog for Sound Mixing. Of course, one movie usually takes both.

Yes, you missed many a Prop 8 jokes and jokes about how Penn's face looks like he eternally smells bad cheese.
