Complete List of 2009 Academy Award Winners by: Bodog Beat
Penelope Cruz won Best Supporting actress after giant, long-winded introductions of each nominee that left the viewer wondering just how long this show would last. Tina Fey and Steve Martin gave a hilarious introduction to the Best Screenplay nominees. Dustin Lance Black won for Milk and offered a stirring speech about his dream for all Americans to have equal rights regardless of their sexual preferences.
The Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay went to Simon Beaufoy for Slumdog Millionaire.
Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black presented the Oscar to Andrew Stanton for Best Animated Feature Film for Wall-E, while Best Animated Short Film went to Kunio Katô for La Maison En Petits Cubes.
Sarah Jessica Parker (along with her giant, pushed-up boobies) and Daniel Craig gave out the award for Best Art Direction, which was snagged by Donald Graham Burt and Victor J. Zolfo for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The award for Best Costume Design went to Michael O'Connor for The Duchess. The Oscar for Makeup went to Greg Cannom for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Natalie Portman and a Joaquin Phoenix-esque Ben Stiller presented the award for Cinematography. As Portman announced the nominees, Stiller chewed gum and wandered on stage. They eventually awarded to Anthony Dod Mantle for Slumdog Millionaire with the Oscar.
The Oscar for Best Short Film went to Jochen Alexander Freydank for Spieltzeugland.
Like the Supporting Actress award, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor also came with pomp, circumstance and a lot of ass kissing. Let's not forget these people are actors.
However, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor went to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight. It was accepted on his behalf by his mother, father and sister.
Bill Maher presented the Oscar for Best Documentary to James Marsh and Simon Chinn for Man on Wire. The Oscar for Best Short Documentary went to Megan Mylan for Smile Pinki. Best Visual Effects was presented by Will Smith and went to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The award for Sound Editing went to Richard King for The Dark Knight. The Oscar for Sound Mixing went to the Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty for Slumdog Millionaire. Chris Dickens was the winner for Film Editing for Slumdog Millionaire.
Slumdog Millionaire picked up another two Oscars which went to A.R. Rahman for Best Original Score as well as Best Original song, "Jai Ho." Japanese film Departures won for Best Foreign Film, which was directed by Yojiro Takita.
Now for the Big Kahuna's: Danny Boyle earned Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire. And - the big news of the night. Sixth time was a charm for Kate Winslet, who after five Oscar losses, finally earned her prize for The Reader. She gave a heartfelt speech, asking her father to whistle so she could see him in the crowd, which he immediately did. Sean Penn got a well-deserved Actor in a leading role Oscar for his performance in Milk. AND the winner for Best Picture - Slumdog Millionaire. So it was a Slumdog sweep, folks - taking eight Oscars!
