- The format of the awards ceremony was probably the best ever - It seemed like nearly all the winners had acceptance speeches written down. I've never seen more - Had Slumdog Millionare not been saved by Fox Searchlight, The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttin would have swept the awards season - the Ben Stiller comedy of Joaquin Phoenix was weird - Genuinely surprised that Mickey Rourke lost out to Sean Penn. I wonder if this would've happened had Prop 8 failed (in the respect that the passage of Prop 8 really brought equal rights issues to the forefront).
1. I HATED the way they announced the acting categories.
I didn't need to listen to each actor/actress get a tribute. I would have preferred them just say the name and show a clip from the movie. I wasn't surprised Rourke lost. I thought he would win but I knew it was between him and Penn.
