This is a special post for the 81st Annual Academy Awards containing (when available):
The imdb link when you click on the name of the movie/person that’s nominated.
Then the category of the best possible quality behind it that’s out.
And a search for the release for the pirate bay and mininova.
You can be sure there will be packs coming out containing only the Oscars winners and later on the DVD Rip packs.
And of course the broadcast itself.
This post has been made by Faolan Scath, M4TRiX and Sta1ns.
It was a lot of work because this is all typed this by hand and could hardly copy/past a lot. (around 3 hours in total)
We hope you like it because there will come similar posts in the future (and also hope for a decent live video stream then!)
Nice to have laggy tv stream then none at all:-)
All the winners have been added, I hope you enjoyed what we did.
Slumdog Millionaire is a must see, if you haven’t watched it yet DDL it here.

Nice post. Thank You.
So…. last second refresh, and…
Winner: Slumdog Millionaire
…
nice post guys… thanks for the justintv link
Slumdog Millionaire….. Meh. It was a ok movie, but I think it got a bit to much praise. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the detailed list.
Slumdog Millionaire is so overrated.
My time to speech now:
Thx all for following live with us.
It’s been a nice experience since i’m sick/wasted and tired.
It’s 06:05 here atm when i’m typing this.
I’m gonna go to bed now finally lol.
Catch you all “tomoz” after i get back on.
I’m glad you enjoyed it since we spend around 3 houres to make the post.
But hey, you can only find it here on scene releases;-)
I would like to thank M4TRiX for the support and Sta1ns for the fast live updates.
Also the other editor’s for their support and comments.
We’ll be doing more special stuff in the future so keep checking;-)
Peace out.
Nice post. Its a shame Frost/Nixon didn’t win anything. But I guess Slumdog steamrolled it with its momentum.
Were can i download the whole show, not just the movies?
O, forgot to thanks those for taking the time to create this. I know it took alot of effort. If Oscar fasion, I give you a BRAVO!
Revanche (Austria – Foreign Language Film Nominee)
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4637823/Gotz_Spielmann_-_Revanche_(2008)
Thanx for this nice post. You indeed have done well
thank you Faolan Scath for putting this together.
Thanks you very good post.
thanks man, really appreciate it.
i dont care about oscar crap…but u made realy nice post! :)
I didn’t watch the oscars so I really appreciate this post.
They need to rename the Academy Awards, to International Academy Awards. Ausie host + best suport actor, Scott best director, Brit best actress, spanish best support actress, Indian best movie, what the f**k america don’t we have enough talent anymore. You global slut.
@ trianglechoke
FYI The Academy Awards have always been on an International level… There just happened to be more foreign films this year that were WORTHY… I’m glad Slumdog won, they deserved it. Another well deserved win- but I was surprised he was voted- Sean Penn.. wow, what a performance. I guess the Academy is finally voting based on the actual work- and not the “buzz”.
Oh, forgot to give THANKS to Faolan Scath for the post- great work- and the oscar for best Academy Award recap on a scene site goes to…! lol
What a complete waste of 3 hours. This has to be the most boring post anyone has ever posted in the history of posting boring posts.
Why waste your time and effort. Get a life and find something real to do.
Stu
You lost F in your nick like:

Wrong knobhead!!!
awesome post thx mate!!
“I guess the Academy is finally voting based on the actual work- and not the “buzz”.”
Slumdog won because of all the hype and “buzz” it has been getting. It’s just an average movie. If you don’t agree, you haven’t seen a lot of great foreign films.
Thanks for posting the winners in the open, everyone loves spoilers. idiot.
that’s why you guys are the best
