I was up all night watching the awards and making a list of the winners. Kind of pointless now but why let all of that time staying up and writing down go to waste? So I've decided to post it up on here for your enjoyment to read up on who won what.
The awards were hosted by James Franco who appeared to be High on Stage fright and the beautiful yet unfunny Anna Hathaway. I still can't believe she'll star as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's third Batman film. She was too damn nice to be taken seriously. But I'm not here to review or judge who sucks or is great. I'm here to just post up the results of the winners of the 83rd Oscar awards and here we go...
THE KING'S SPEECH won the following awards...
BEST MOTION PICTURE
BEST ACTOR (COLIN FIRTH)
BEST DIRECTOR (TOM HOPPER)
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY (This is the only award I'm probably disappointed in. The King's Speech is somewhat based on true events. So therefore it should have been in the Category of Adapted Screenplays, not Original).
Not all is disappointment of cause as INCEPTION took home majority of the technical awards...
CINEMATOGRAPHY
SOUND MIXING
SOUND EDITING
VISUAL EFFECTS (Very pleased about this. Real life like effects beats over used CGI).
It's surprising to say the least that The King's Speech and Inception tied in the number of awards and even shocked that The Social Network didn't take home as many awards, not that it deserved it. The film was average at best and not as amazing as the hype would have you believe.
The awards for THE SOCIAL NETWORK include the following...
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
FILM EDITING
ORIGINAL SCORE (Another award I think another film should have won. I watched the film and I didn't find the music score that amazing. Then again I prefer War/Action/Horror type of Soundtracks when it comes to Original Scores in movies. That or I'm just jealous Hans Zimmer lost the Oscar for best score yet again).
TIM BURTON'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND took home the awards for BEST...
ART DIRECTION
COSTUME DESIGN
TOY STORY 3 won BEST ANIMATION and ORIGINAL SONG (We Belong Together).
THE FIGHTER won the following BEST SUPPORTING ROLES.
ACTRESS - (MELISSA LEO)
ACTOR - (CHRISTIAN BALE) The man finally gets his well deserves after so long. He should have gotten the award for his role in American Psycho. This is a film I'm looking to seeing once it comes to DVD.
BLACK SWAN was the sad one to not win any well deserved awards. It truly was a great film and it upsets me it didn't win some of them. It did however win BEST ACTRESS AWARD which goes to NATALIE PORTMAN who gave a amazing performance and one she really has earned.
The following awards for films are as follows.
SHORT ANIMATION - THE LOST THINGS
FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM - IN A BETTER WORLD (DENMARK)
BEST MAKE UP - THE WOLFMAN
LIVE ACTION SHORT - GOD OF LOVE
DOCUMENTARY SHORT - STRANGER'S NO MORE
OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY FEATURE - INSIDE JOB
