I'm really happy for all of the awards that went to both THE WRESTLER and SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. Zombie and I just saw Slumdog yesterday. Like Onyx and 'Backer, we both really, really, liked it. Much more than either of us thought we would. It was nothing like what we thought it might be, and we were both really pleased with the end result. The Wrestler still remains my favorite film of 2008 (despite my unconditional love for The Dark Knight).

Also of note, if you haven't seen it: WALL-E is great (and pushing actually for a Best Picture - not Best Animated - nod for the Oscars; The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger was The Joker; and Recount - for a movie where you go in knowing the ending, it's pretty damn good. I haven't seen John Adams yet, but I was hearing good things before this set of wins, so I'll have to check it out.

Now just to see what the Oscars bring.

Speaking as someone who isn't sure what the competition was in each category, these all seem like pretty good picks by me.
