Crash lands shock Oscar triumph
The Monday morning started with watching the live (& exclusuve) coverage of the Oscars (78th Annual Academy Awards) on Star Movies. The 4.5 hr show (from 5:30 AM - 10 AM IST) kept me glued on my Sofa watching the run-up to the best film.The song "IT'S HARD OUT HERE FOR A PIMP" FROM HUSTLE & FLOW" was superb and no doubt it won the best original score.Reese Witherspoon won the best actress.
