Probably the only surprise of the night was for Best Foreign Picture,
I really thought it would go to Walts with Bashir. Now I want to check
out Departures. Other than that, Best Actor was the only uncertain
one, but I'm glad Sean Penn got it. Mickey Rourke was deserving, but I
felt Sean Penn really made Harvey Milk's character alive. Personally I
liked Benjamin Button over Slumdog Millionaire, but I can understand
why voters would prefer that over BB. Other than that, mostly
predictable year.
