Oscars 2009 Video Highlights

It’s been a night of glitz and glamour. But none of the winners thanked Movie-Moron. Here are the 2009 Oscars video highlights.

Now this is how you start a show. What an incredible performance by Hugh Jackman, as he sings and dances his way through all the nominees for Best Picture -

Ben Stiller does Joaquin Phoenix. I don’t know how many people around the world knew what the hell this was about. But for the rest of us, hilarious -

Will Smith slips up and drops in the phrase “Boom goes the dynamite” referencing this YouTube phenomena. Why not. Brilliant.

Heath Ledger wins Best Supporting Actor, and the award is collected by his family -

Kate Winslet wins Best Actress for The Reader. Her speech? 15% too sickly, about average for the evening -

Sean Penn beats Mickey Rourke to Best Actor, disappointing movie fans around the world. To be fair though, his speech was good -

Oh and the flavour of the month won Best Picture, as usual.
