Well, the Oscars are over, and it's safe to say the Coen Brothers swept this year's awards ceremony! We chuckled at Jon Stewart's jokes, swooned at Best Actress Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech and grew a little teary-eyed at the "dearly departed" montage which ended with Heath Ledger. I blogged about all my thoughts during the ceremony and asked you what you thought of the wins, some of which were easy to predict (Daniel Day-Lewis, duh) while others were surprises (Tilda Swinton!).
To see a full list of all the 2008 Oscar winners, just read more.

Congratulations!
1I'm so happy Daniel Day-Lewis won! I've been a sort-of fan of his for so long, but this film and The Ballad of Jack and Rose really made me a HUGE fan of his amazing method acting!
2I'm also super happy Daniel Day-Lewis! He made There Will Be Blood come alive. Amaaaazing.
3Why wasn't Brad Renfro included in the montage?
4Daniel Day-Lewis and Javier Bardem really deserved to win.Amazing actors.And I'm glad No country for old men won so many oscars.Marion Cotillard's win was also a very pleasant surprise.
5congratulations to all the winners!
6Every year I'm less interested in the Oscars, everything is so predictable.
7I'm not particularly interested in the Oscars, per se. However, I really don't think that Marion Cotillard winning was predictable. That said, I'm so glad she won.
8Yay for Diablo Cody! Ellen Page definitely is a great actress, but the film wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for the script imo!
9I'm just so proud and happy for Marion!!! she totally deserves that!! Congrats girl!!
10congratulations for all the winners!
