S-a incheiat si cea de-a 81-a editie a decernarii premiilor Oscar. Batalia dintre cele doua mari favorite (Slumdog Millionaire si The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) s-a terminat cu victoria detasata a filmului Slumdog Millionaire, castigator a 8 premii Oscar (2 dintre ele fiind cele mai importante ale intregii gale - cel mai bun film si cea mai buna regie) din 10 nominalizari pe care le-a avut. In schimb, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button a pornit cu 13 nominalizari si a castigat doar 3 premii "marunte". Am avut si cateva surprize placute in privinta actorilor castigatori la categoriile: cel mai bun actor in rol principal si cea mai buna actrita in rol secundar. Dar, sa n-o mai lungesc.
