The Oscars - 81st

The 81st Oscar Awards ceremony provided glitz and glamour. The most amazing part of the Oscars for me was the fact that a little known movie, "Slumdog Millionaires", won 8 oscars - Danny Boyle won best director and showed his joy by jumping like Tigger in "Winnie the Pooh" and the movie also won an oscar for the best picture. What an almighty achievement! The excitement created in the movie is pure magic and conjures images of fantasy in the audience.
The best actor award went to Sean Penn, a truly gigantic actor in Hollywood and the best actress award went to Kate Winslet who was absolutely thrilled to win the award.
The oscar for supporting male actor went to Heath Ledger posthumously. His parents were present at the Oscars to witness the honour bestowed upon their son. The best female supporting actress went to Penny Cruz who stated that the arts are an international phenomenon.
Mention must be made of Hugh Jackman who performed his role as host of the Oscars in an energetic, talented and magnificent manner. He received rave reviews for his role on a truly magical night.
