The Academy Awards are on tonight and there are many different ways that it could go. Most years, they have a comedian be the host, like in previous years, they have had Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and Chris Rock. This year they are having Hugh Jackman be the host. Everyone loves Hugh Jackman but can he really host the Academy Awards? He is not a funny guy. Will he be able to live up to the great expectation and myth that the Academy Awards host has to live up to? I think that it will be an interesting night, to see how he tackles the Academy Awards, and if he does comedy or makes it a serious thing. Also the whole thing with Heath Ledger and whether or not he should get the award for best supporting actor or not. There are many different ways that you could reason. Obviously he is going to win, no doubt. But if he were still alive would he even be nominated? How would you feel if you were one of the other people in the category of best supporting actor, if you won you would feel bad, and if you lose, you are losing to a dead guy. Also who will accept the award for Heath. I know that when his daughter turns 18 she gets to have the award if he wins (he will), but until then because she is like 4 or something now, who gets it? What will happen to it? Also it is amazing that a movie like Slumdog Millionaire, which probably cost very little to make will win for best motion picture. I thought that it was a good movie, but it is so cool, that a director who is no one, and it starred people who are no bodies can win for best motion picture. That is really cool.
What are other controversies of the Oscars? can you think of any.

I completely agree with you that Heath Ledger should get the award. This is a controversial topic because others could have the chance to win the award in this catagory, but overall I do not think that anyone will complain that he was awarded the oscar becuase he deserved it!!
