Gawd!!!
Did I enjoy the Oscars?
Heck yeah I did!!!
Did it have anything to do with the gorgeous Hugh Jackman, who I secretly did not expect anything from (because after all, he's Wolverine, not of Billy Crystal ish calibre) but who totally brought it!!!
And he was absolutely delish when he danced! Just orgasmically so!!!
Was I excited about Slumdog Millionaire?
Not really, because I thought the movie was whattheheckisthebigdeal when compared to the other movies up there, and really my all time fav Indian film at the Oscars will always be Lagaan!
Was I excited when Pookutty won?
Frack yea!!!
He's mal for frack's sake!!!
I know .... I am shameless that way
Did i totally go wild when Rahman performed?
Yes.
Oh
Yes!!!
All in all, a better show because of the dish worthy Jackman and the whole old Hollywood style glamor the set created ... I was so taken in that I even loved the whole new movies montage they put in the end, and didn't automatically go to the cynical 'ugh - not another pleading to get us to spend money on cheap overpriced popcorn'
What can I say - I am a sucker for dancing men and Indian gyrations :)

I loved this post. I too love the Oscars and I was so impressed with Wolverine's performance! And I loved the Indian music! May have to get the soundtrack to Slumdog. Very frickin' awesome music...
So happy to see you back! :)
I'm with you on your opinion about 'Slumdog'. I think to most Indians it was just like most Bollywood movies, but with a little less fights. Absolutely agree about 'Lagaan'. That really was different sort of movie. 'Taare Zameen par' was also a great movie and so tenderly done. Both I thought was better than this. But of course the great AR is something else. I loved the soundtrack of Roja.
