This movie is going to be in the walmart $5 bin within 2 years of dvd release. I saw Milk and The Wrestler and they were by far better movies in just about every way. I guess my opinion means little but the Oscars suck so much. Milk should have won best picture. MR should have won best actor. Slumdog was ok at very best.

Combine that with the great soundtrack and moving ending I agree the Wrestler is superior. But not totally because of Mickey. The writting has to be acknowledged in this film. The writing n the Wrestler was phenomenal. The acting between Penn and Rourke was equally great , however Penn has more of a political edge than Rourke within the Academy at this time. I think we can all agree that 2008 was the best year in movies so far this decade. Cheers everyone!!! @Mark Frost,,,

Slumdogs soundtrack I agree was amazing. Steve Martin was hilarious, " Don't love me Cole!" I agree with some here that Rourke should have won Best Actor and The Wrestler should have also been up for Best Picture. That being typed you have to realise that gay rights are a hot topic right now in Los Angeles and in the Industry. Sean Penn had the perfect Gay Storm working for him. I'm really happy Rourke went out with a great Spirit Award speech !!! Let's all be thankful for that. The 15th thing we should have learned from the Oscars, Jack Black doesn't take any shit from Jennifer Aniston. There were a ton of inside jokes there if you know what he's referring to,,, This review was in itself an original take on reviews of the Oscars,,, very well done Cole!

Kind of ironic, considering it is an Indo-British film at best, I would most definetly agree with your point on the music score though, A.R. Rahman is too great a genius to have been kept away from the global spotlight. P.S. Spike Lee used "chaiyyya chaiyya" - another Rahman song in the opening and closing credits of the "Inside Man" I'm from India, and for some reason, the newspapers are abuzz with the "oscar glory" that slumdog has bought to Indian shores.

The fact is Mickey's performance was powerfully dramatic and while Penn also did an amazing job, you can't snub a man because he's personally similar to his character. It's about who was better in the end and Mickey was better. Have you actually seen The Wrestler?

To your second, it just feels unfulfilling when one film takes all of the majors to me. One film trumping all others in those categories seems unlikely to me. But that's the point.
