Slumdog Millionaire. Yeah, so it won pretty much every award it was nominated for. Can't say I'm not surprised. I'm not sure why this movie has gotten so much attention, honestly. Either way, I'm glad to see Benjamin Button picking up a couple for its outstanding effects and makeup, and I'm definitely happy to see Wall-E take best animated feature. Also, for those of you that actually care, for whatever reason, I've listed and linked the rest of the winners (or should I say the rest of the Oscars Slumdog Millionaire won) to their prospective IMDB pages. Enjoy!
