Who got a boost?:

• Danny Boyle for Best Director. The fact that he was able to win the award despite his film's loss in the Best Picture category is a good sign.
• Milk for Best Picture. Another great recovery from the snub by the Golden Globes.
• Let the Right One In for Foreign Language Film.
• Anne Hathaway. She was really starting to lag, but this is proof that she's still a strong contender.
• Kate Winslet for Best Actress. However, it's odd that she was given best actress for The Reader, in a role that the studio behind the film considers supporting.
• Slumdog Millionaire for Adapted Screenplay.

Who got snubbed?:

• Benjamin Button for Adapted Screenplay.
