Hubba, hubba...I think he is adorable!!!

I said that to one of the young women who work for me and she said his ears are too big ...he'll grow into them...

Are you sure about the director being 18? I saw him accept an award (I think it was the director) and he is hasn't seen 18 in a llllooonnnnngggg time!*

*I looked it up...Danny Boyle the director is 52.

I am so pleased that Slumdog and AR Rahman won awards...and rightfully so! AR Rahman is phenomenal in writing music scores - the amount he's done and in various languages is astounding. I've listened to a lot of his work with Indian films and Bollywood, so it was neat to see him recognized in Hollywood!

I liked "Benjamin Button" but I found that parts really dragged. My BF liked it a lot better than I did.

I am looking forward to seeing "Milk" and "Slumdog" and I also want to see "Vicky Christina Barcelona" and "Rachel Getting Marries" with Anne Hathaway.

There were actually a ton of good movies that came out this year, far more than past years. There are also a few upcoming films that I would like to see. The one with Johnny Depp (can't remember the title) looks especially good!

That would be Public Enemies.

No-one seen/liked The Wrestler and/or Mickey Rourke?

"The Wrestler" is a tough, gritty movie, and it won't be everyone's cup of tea. I thought Mickey Rourke was superb. A gutsy and powerful performance.

I haven't seen it, but want to. As far as acting goes, he's top notch. I liked him a lot more when he wasn't so "plastic," but he still does a great job.

Prairie Purrs, spot on!

Oh, Kari, do go see it. As Prairie Purrs said it is not to everyone's taste, maybe you will find it's not to yours, but all I'll say about Mickeys performance is that his Golden Globe and Bafta were very much deserved.

I wasn't a fan before this film but I sure am now! Plus the various interviews I've seen have endeared him to me. He's come through the mill, he totally acknowledges his badness in the past and how it was all down to him. He worked through how his early life affected they way he was and then carried on working so hard to change.

And another plus is how much he loves dogs! So sad for him that his beloved Loki died not long before the Oscars.
