Conclusion: Slumdog Millionaire movie wins a lot this time..haven’t watch this movie yet…Really happy that Kate Winslet won the Best Actress…i suddenly recalling back 12 years ago when she acted as Rose Dewitt Bukater in the famous movie ‘Titanic’

For best animated feature film, I have watched the three movies and I think that Kung Fu Panda is better, because it has a more interesting plot with humourous scenes in the movie…

For best supporting actor, grateful that Health Ledger won as he deserved it in the villain role as the Joker in the Batman: The Dark Knight…just sad that he had passed away….
