Congratulations To The 81st Academy Awards Big Winners!

Now here it goes, the list of winners in the 81st Annual Academy Awards held last Sunday at the Kodak Theatre in Holloywood, California.

But before anything else, let us commend Wolverine, I mean Hugh Jackman, for that fantastic song and dance opening number that makes us marvel how that guy easily shifts role from being an action hero, to being the Sexiest Man Alive, to the terrific theatrical singer-dancer-host with a slick sense of humor.

Secondly, our heartfelt congratulations to Kate Winslet who finally held her own trophy after five previous Oscar loses.
