There is something so amazing to watch people have their dreams come true. That's what happened last night at the Oscars.
Slumdog Millionaire seems to have taken away most of the awards, which it deserves. It happens to be the only movie that I've seen that was nominated this year. While it was painfully hard to sit through for most of the movie because it's a world that most of us can't even begin to imagine. In the end it was worth it, extremely uplifting and the cinematography was wonderful.
There were many moments that will stay with me, for at least a day or two. Kate Winslett having her father whistle to her when she won for best actress. Ben Stiller imitating Joaquin Pheonix on Late Night with David Letterman.
One of the most touching moment's for me came on Barbara Walter's special beforehand. Hugh Jackman was on her show and he recounted a moment when his father came to Carnegie Hall to see him. It was not black tie and he told his father.
"It's not black tie Dad." He said.
"For me it's black tie." His father said.
He then talks about the tears pouring down his father's face when he was singing. It seemed like such a powerful genuine moment.
