My Feedback? I watched the Queen, and the acting was quite boring leh! How in the world could she win? Unless the other movies really sucked. I mean, it was no Charlize Theron in Monster! Or Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby. Come one lah, the queen was so kayu! The Departed was not all that lah! The Original Hong Kong series was MUCH better, with allot more character development. Should Martin Scorsese have won for best director? Hmmm…donno if he really deserved it for this movie, or they just gave it to him cos he has never won one before. Donnolah. Nothing really to rave about in this years Oscars. Quite meaningless.
