i've never seen skins besides a clip or two on youtube. it doesn't seem like my kind of show, really, and from what i can tell, dev patel was a TOTALLY different, lower-quality actor in that show. something changed in him for slumdog, and it was amazing, especially for such a young kid.

 

i really need to see benjamin button and revolutionary road, but i don't think they'll be playing anywhere around here :sad:

*clears throat*

 

YAY SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE FOR GETTING THE SAG FOR BEST CAST! :dance:

 

i wish dev patel had won best supporting actor, but with heath dead and all (and deserving of the award), he had no chance.

 

roll on, oscars! :nice:

yeah I agree, I think that in any category that Heath is nominated in, none of the other nominees have a chance.. I would love to see Michael Shannon win for best actor in a supporting role at the Oscars, but I know that Heath will probably win. (Which is weird because Michael's performance in Revolutionary Road reminds me of the joker) :confused:

 

but anyway.. yay for slumdog! :dance:

Cool to see I'm not the only person around who is such a geek when it comes to awards season. I love watching all of those awards for some weird reason. Most people I know don't lol, so its like a guilty pleasure.

skins is a brilliant show :wacko:

 

I loved Dev in skins, he's hilarious! But I never knew he had the chops to do a movie like Slumdog! He was brilliant in it. :D

The Academy Awards start in 2 hours!! :dance:

 

Print out a ballot here

fill it out and see how many you get correct, I do this every year. it's addictive.

so. EXCITED. :bomb:

 

i'm watching barbara walters now. does the ceremony start at 9, with an hour of red carpet before? i want to see some red carpet, but i also want to watch barbara...

also, did you hear about the possible leak of winners?

don't click if you don't want to know, even though i don't think it's completely legit. we'll see.

^ It's fake. :nice:

Natalie Portman looks amazing tonight! :stunned:

It starts at 8:30.

 

7:00-8:00 = Barbara Walters Special

8:00-8:30 = Red Carpet

8:30-11:30 = Academy Awards Ceremony

 

 

I've been watching red carpet stuff all day though. It started at 2pm on E!

 

& yes I saw that list... but I don't think it's true. The Academy is sooo careful and secretive about everything.. I would be really surprised if that list turned out to be genuine.. but I guess we'll see pretty soon! :dance:

i think it's fake too, but part of me wonders. thanks for the times, lauren! i wanted to know how much red carpet there would be :D

 

and i have my eyes peeled for dev patel :wideeyed:

Ohhh Dev Patel! :heart: He looks wonderful! So charming...

and i have my eyes peeled for dev patel :wideeyed:

 

omg me too, dev patel is a cutie. I'm 100% sure that slumdog will win a lot of things tonight. :D

 

DEVVVVVV :bigcry:

 

he was hugging the little boys and holding the little girl's hand! :nice:

 

i am such a fangirl, but i so love nerds :wacky:

 

and i LOVE freida's dress in that picture!

Are you watching it now?

It's 2:30am here but I'll watch as long as I can stay awake...

 

Would be great to have somebody to talk to...

Like about the Slumdog allusion a few seconds ago!!!!! :)

This is so cool what they are doing there!!! :lol:

 

Anybody watching?

leak is officially wrong :dance: and :worried:

 

they're getting so personal this year!

 

i want slumdog to win everything :bigcry:

That's what I thought as well.

 

The first win is already good. We're still showing "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" in the cinema I work at... means even more people coming to see it now!

 

Slumdog hopefully will be a huge hit in Germany as well. Starts next month here.

Wow, great speech!

 

I loved Milk. I think I'll watch it a second time.

Dev and Freida look so great! 1 for Slumdog 9 to go! Yay. :)

They're playing Lovers in Japan!!!!

Lovers in Japan playing right now :dance: :D!!!

loves in japan as background music :wacky:

haha, we all got excited :nice:.
