Oscar 2009 Winners!
Last night’s Oscars…kinda sucked. Not just for the horrendous stage shows, but the concepts on how to “reel in more viewers” and the music numbers that were, well, really boring (aside from the Hugh Jackman opener music sequence which was awesome). And aside from the Comedy montage all the other montages were, again, well, boring. Well, that’s enough of my rant, here are the winners:
