Oscars 2009 – Die Preisträger

Die Oscars 2009 sind passé, die Kanne Schwarztee ebenso. Was fehlt? Die Gewinner für alle, die der Veranstaltung auf Grund normaler Schlafrhythmen fern geblieben sind. Da ein ausführlicher Post zur Qualität der Show nach einem Nickerchen noch folgen wird, hier erstmal die rund dreieinhalbstündige Veranstaltung in drei Sätzen kurz und knapp zusammengefasst:

Slumdog Millionär gewinnt wie erwartet alle relevanten Preise (8), “Der Seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button” nicht.

Sean Penn hat ab heute zwei Oscars, Kate Winslet einen daheim stehen.

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!

Die Gewinner sind im Folgenden fett markiert:
