Thoughts?

I'm suprised that Slumdog Millionaire came out as the best film, there was fierce competition in that category. It was brilliant that Heath Ledger won best supporting actor, his performance in The Dark Knight was Phenomenal

Dang, Slumdog Millionaire got a mountain load of 'em.

I almost don't want to watch it now. So much hyperbole surrounds the film - I'm almost guaranteed to be disappointed!
