OVER rated shit!
You know, I'm getting really ticked off by the Oscars now. I am sick of the people behind this sickening event, pointy nosed little brained movie snobs who claim intellectual superiority based on their preferences for movies that involve crying, "tragic" life stories, and "inspirational" characters made by people with really classy faces and names.
Another year of overlooking COUNTLESS movies because the judges have the memory span of an old geezer with Alzheimer's. "Was that movie I saw 6 mths ago good?"
"Heck, I can't remember, oh but this new movie is!"
Okay, So Slumdog has your regular sob festivities, y'know, with your child actors and white guy directing, but you can't POSSIBLY think that it's sound was better than Ben Burtt's for WALL.E! We hear those sounds on a daily basis! You KNOW what it sounds like, so you just match the sounds! The actors have their own voices given to them by the good grace of God! Something we can't say for the robots and that bug in Pixar's latest venture! Emotions to be conveyed couldn't go through speech, cause Wall e doesn't have a MOUTH! Yet they did so, successfully, because those bleeps and whistles so lovingly put together tugged heartstrings! That's sheer brilliance in itself!
Again I'm gonna yell at the panel for completely ignoring the "Inferior" and "pointless" comic book movies. "Oh no, we're not gonna nominate something that EVERYONE likes!" Hey, the Dark Knight had some scenes that made some audience members feel things they've never felt so strongly anywhere else. For crying out loud, I was actually terrified of the Joker, and cringed many a time when he executed his laughing therapy. There were also moments showing humankind's courage, (the two boats - with NO superhero to help them - with civilians, played by small time people with excellent acting ability). So it's a comic book movie, which means it doesn't have real life action, or believabilty? That's just twaddle-speak. You find me someone who didn't sympathise, empathise, or chewed their nails off half to death because of whatever's happening on screen I'll show you Helen Keller. It was DAMN near easier to relate to than a Slumdog Richie Rich. In this economically- challenged terrorist laden world we REALLY don't need to know how someone who never went to school suddenly gets a million bucks. BY LUCK. We wanna see how humans would/could behave when confronted with corrupt authoritative figures, a leader's fall from grace, the deaths of important people, the deaths of strangers, and when faced with difficult choices, and a terrorist that makes Leatherface look like the Easter bunny. So maybe Slumdog had a "better script", cause there were no costumed vigilantes, but the thing that really got my feathers ruffled is the invisible Nolan spot for Best director, and Zimmer's for best music. What the fuck are you playing at?!
Stolen awards also include Best Editing, Cinematography(TDK for Slum?!), Sound for Wall.E.
Screw you and your little golden man, the numbers speak for themselves.

PS. Bless you Mr Ledger.
