There were no surprises at the Oscars last night. At least, we didn’t think so. And we’re happy Kate got hers just so we don’t have hear anymore how she’s always a nominee and never a winner. (Always a bridesmaid and never….) Finally. Now we can just regard her as an actress, rather than "someone deserving of an Oscar."

Kudos to Penelope Cruz, of course. But the main point of interest about last night’s somewhat classy, scaled down presentation seems to be Hugh Jackman’s performance.

I loved Hugh Jackman's performance, it was absolutely fantastic! :D I'm glad Kate Winslet got her overdue Oscar, but I was disappointed to see Robert Downey Jr didn't win Supporting Actor. :( But oh well! At least he got nominated! XD

This is odd because I have not yet seen any of these movies other than Dark Knight. I'm looking forward to seeing them on DVD.
