Jai Ho, from Slumdog Millionaire A.R. Rahman and Gulzar
O Saya – Slumdog Millionaire A.R. Rahman and Maya Arulpragasam.
The Oscars surprised me with the who wasn’t nominated from the previous Awards shows like Colin Farrell in In Bruges (he was robbed), Dustin Hoffman in Last Chance Harvey, Miley Cyrus for a song from Bolt or that kid from Slumdog Millionaire and thankfully so wasn’t Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino. But forgetting all of that, I am really hoping that Robert Downey Jr finally gets the Oscar he so richly deserves! That award normally goes to a vet who has been in the industry who has never gotten an Oscar and they are finally making it up to them. I am kind of hoping that Marisa Tomei wins again, just so we can say twice she won, but it was the wrong name in the envelope!!! Since Kate Winslet was only nominated once, I think she will finally bring home Oscasr gold, but I am hoping for Anne Hathaway!!! When it comes to movies I could care less because if it is anything like the last few years we will forget which movie won within days! But I am kind of hoping that the remake of Forest Gump, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wins, afterall it lead the Oscar nominations with 13!
Find out who wins on February 22nd on ABC with first-time host Hugh Jackman!
