Yeah, I don't get why Hollywood is giving anything related to Bollywood any credit, even if it was made by Danny Boyle. They are notorious for plagarizing Hollywood as well as the films of other countries.

That girl from Slumdog is sooo hot, but I'm sick of this lovefest for it. I liked the movie, but there were better films released in 2008.

Some people don't appreciate it. It's fine; the movie's not for them.

An unfunny washed up-comedian presents a lifetime achievement award to a An unfunny washed up-comedian. How fitting..

Did anyone else find it strange when describing Josh Brolin's character in Milk the crowd started laughing? Imagine them describing Lee Harvey Oswald and that getting a laugh. I found it very strange.

Eddie Murphy, Jerry Lewis, and Coldplay are equally funny.

Jerry accepting this award is going to be so funny. And not ha HA funny.

Washed up? The poor guy has been sick for years. He's getting a lifetime achievement award, not a "for the past 10 years when he doesn't done anything award".

I'm a little shocked at the hate for Slumdog. It was a fantastic picture, and shouldn't even be mentioned anywhere near a group that includes Crash. I thought SM was well liked around here.

Not to mention for everything he's done for people over the years. He deserves it.

Though he's a little shaky, Jerry Lewis looks very good.

What has he ever done of any merit to be honest? At least movie-related.//
