The 77th Annual Academy Awards

'And the oscar goes to' .....
Perhaps the most coveted phrase in the history of films, raising the heartbeat of all those aspirants, for whom the academy is more or less the 'Mecca' of their lifetime.
Almost all the dailies, the world over will be hosting the details of the academy awards starting from who wore which underwear to who had the last sip of drink at the dinner party.
So a brief report on the winners:

Million Dollar Baby: What a movie, swept the oscars for the best picture, best actress, best actor in a supporting role and best director. All well deserved.
Clint Eastwood, even at this age winning 2 oscars makes a humble acceptance speech and says hes still a kid when compared to all the other eminent directors.
Hillary Swank has successfully depicted, how tough and determined can a woman be esp in a phycially demanding sport of boxing. The way she shapes up in the movie has to be just watched on the big screen.
Morgan Freeman, perhaps should've won the oscar for another category called 'Best Narration'. People who have seen 'Shawshank Redemption' know the depth of this man's narrative abilities. The same narrative power is portrayed in million dollar baby coupled by his powerful acting.

Jamie Foxx: Almost every movie buff in the world was rooting for this guy to win the best actor award and he did. What a performance in Ray, the genious of Ray charles has been relived and the acceptance speech couldnt have been more emotional.

'Born Into Brothels', a documentary on the calcutta red light areas snatched the oscar for the best documentary and 'Little Terrorist' found a nomination in the category of 'Short film (Live Action)'. Some Indian presence was felt at the academy.

In my opinion, a captivating song, 'Vois Sur Ton Chemin'(Look into your path):It was nominated OST for the movie 'Les Choristes'. Beyonce sang it on stage and the beauty of this song is the combination of the sentimental piano tunes with the chorus of the children. Am simply hooked to this song.

Finally these were the movies that were common in almost all nominations and walked away with atleast one award:
The Aviator, Finding NeverLand, Million Dollar Baby, Ray and Sideways.

An unusual aspect: Most of them are blockbuster hits.
