As a viewer, this year's Oscars is less glamorous but "warmer", and quite entertaining too.
As a translator, it's actually a relatively easy show to translate, yet with more dialogues (cheaper budget, fewer props and less glamorous backdrop, so, they add in more dialogues! Some of us were cursing when we watched the live telecast this morning).
As a woman, I am charmed by the gentlemanly Hugh Jackman. Well, I consider Billy Crystal (I just love him) to be the "eternal MC for the Oscars", and Jackman nearly beat him. He sings and dances well.
As a person, the one point I was touched (I didn't watch much of the show tonight, left the office quite late, ended up watching only the last hour or so) was when Kate Winslet asked her parents to whistle to her, so that she could locate them. And her dad whistled, for everyone to hear. So sweet.
As a tired office worker, I really should sleep now.
Last but not least, as a movie lover, I couldn't wait to catch (1)"The Reader" and (2) "Frost/Nixon". Want to catch "Revolutionary Road", too.... wonder if it's still on or not.
As for the big winner, "Slumdog Millionaire", my bro and sister-in-law watched it on their side, and she thinks it's "my type of movie" (indie/ artsy-fartsy/ interesting in a certain way movie).

哈哈哈,你次次扮訓都咁入戲,奧斯卡最佳女主角應該係你而唔係琦溫斯莉 囉!!
i didn't get to watch the pearl translated version that night either, but tonight when everyone is asleep, i finally got to see on youtube the opening and musical shows by hugh jackman, plus natalie portman presenting an award, and kate winslet giving the winning speech. hey i like that whistle part too.
thanks for bringing the show to people who don't understand english, like my parents! (not sure if they watched it though) :P
