After the Oscars

I was extremely pleased with the 1 hour of the Oscars that I saw on Sunday night. Unfortunately I had to miss the beginning due to a prior engagement. Non only was I pleased with the winners but I was also pleased with the new format conceived by producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon. The event was intimate, engaging, and relevant. I was happy to see all but one of my predictions come true. However, I do feel that Slumdog and The Reader are two of the best films I've seen in awhile, so for Kate Winslet to win was a real treat.
