No Country for Old Men was the obvious winner to me, regardless of it being inferior to Michael Clayton, Atonement, There Will Be Blood, and especially Juno. The only two I saw Juno winning were total no brainers. Best Original Screenplay and Ellen Page's Best Actress Award. I guess I was wrong again. Ellen was robbed, there's no doubt about it. The Academy is all about shedding light on decent films while letting the truly great ones go unawarded. Juno deserved every award it was nominated for. No Country wasone of this movies that I found to be terribly boring and uneventful. And Slumdog this year? Really? Psh. Academy sucks. I wasn’t at all surprised to see it lose.
