“Slumdog Millionaire” is 2 for 2 after notching a second Oscar for Antony Dod Mantle’s Cinematography. “The Dark Knight” is 0 for 3. “Slumdog” is actually tied with “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,” but the latter has lost in the key categories of Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay and now Cinematography. Ben Stiller offers a stunningly unfunny sendup of Joaquin Phoenix, presenting the award with Natalie Portman, apparently the only actress they could find who’s shorter than him.

I’m 7 for 9.
