Thought it was a good show last night. I enjoyed Hugh Jackman's number at the beginning. Thought he did a solid job. Having the 5 actors introuce all the acting categories was a nice spin.
I was a big fan of the Reader, so I wanted it to win some awards but wasn't shocked when it didn't. Frost Nixon was also very good and I thought Langella did a great job, I would have had no issue had he won. Sean Penn was hwoever very good and a deserved winner as Harvey Milk. Slumdog was a nice story and I liked how it took the viewer thru so many different emotions. I understand why it cleaned up. I thought Benjamin Button was a solid fantasy story with a good heart, but no, it didn't deserve much more than some technical awards.
I saw all 5 best pic nominees and this is how I would have ranked them. I liked them all.

Frost/Nixon
