Oscar 2009

My favorite picture of Oscar night.  The Slumdog kids are sooooo cute!  Especially the one on the bottom row, right:  Ayush Mahesh Khedekar, he played the youngest version of the main character, Jamal. Isn't he a cutie? I caught a clip of Ryan Seacrest interviewing them and I didn't really like how Seacrest handled the interview.  He pretty much perused over them.  View here:

Contrary to most American television viewers, I actually really enjoy the Academy Awards. I get to ogle all the dolled up starlets in their pretty dresses and listen to sometimes touching speeches. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to witness the televised version this evening.

No worries, though. Chicago Tribune had me covered with the Best and Worst of 2009. I liked that their comments describes not only what happened at the event itself (like that Kate Winslet won Best Actress and Hugh Jackman was the host) but also gives background story (I didn't know that Marisa Tomei hasn't been to the Oscars since 2002). Their coverage of the overall event is fast, breezy and comes with pictures! Perfect for the modern television audience. Check out their link here.
