HEATH LEDGER Wins Best Actor in a Supporting Role
It’s official Heath Ledger wins Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Ledger’s performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight brought a whole new level of villain to the screen. I thought The Dark Knight should have been nominated for Best Director and Best Picture, but tonight I’m glad that Ledger was honored with his brilliant performance.
He will always be remembered.
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE Review
Every once in a while a movie comes along that has just about everything and seems to hit all the right notes. After viewing SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, I can easily say that this is that type of movie.
This is a story about a young man, named Jamal, who lands himself on the Indian version of the hit TV show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”. The big question is if the man is up for answering all the questions, since he has spent most of his life in the slums, hence the name Slumdog Millionaire. The director (Danny Boyle) has made a masterpiece in story-telling. Going from the present to the past, he beautiful guides us through Jamal’s experiences. What helps even more is that the cast of mostly unknowns (at least to us in the US) provide performances that are genuine and effective
This is a movie is perfectly made and includes a little bit of everything for us movie lovers - laughs, suspense, and drama. Probably the most romantic movie you’ll see in years.
This Sunday the movie will be up for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture of the Year and Best Director (Boyle). I can say with no doubts or hesitation that this movie deserves to win big this weekend.
Highly recommended.
