Er, I guess it's a little late at this point but...spoilers? (not that anyone was waiting with baited breath to watch a recording and be surprised, I gues...)

I was, too. However, my disapointment with that was alleviated by the fact that Danny Boyle won a very, VERY well deserved Oscar. (Not only was Slumdog amazing, I have a feeling this is to honor a lot of his past work, too.)
Overall, I thought this was one of the best Oscars I've seen, at least in recent memory. Hugh Jackman was a great host--talented, amusing, and didn't feel the need to force jokes in the way a comedian host does. (His opening medley was amazing.) I loved the idea of having five past winners introduce the acting nominees--inspired. None of the speeches were too long or too boring (not by Oscar standards anyway). Overall a fairly low key, classy night. I enjoyed it.
And once again, DANNY BOYLE WON!! YEEHAW!!
