Oscars Review Part1...

...so I managed to crawl out of bed just after 1pm GMT, it was a very long night. Considering one of my favorite person ever (James Franco) was presenting I expected to be entertained throughout but the show really lacked flair and the writers seemed to do little to help the two young, inexperienced hosts.

Major disappointment: There was a lack of song and dance, which has been done excellently the last two Oscars; a one minute attempt was alright but, just not enough.

Major hot point: James Franco in drag, is that weird? It was super hot either way.

Anyway, here's how my predictions stack up to the actual results:

Best Film: Inception (we can dream!) (The King's Speech)

Best Director: Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan (Tom Hooper, The King's Speech)

Best Actor: James Franco, 127 Hours (again we can dream!) (Colin Firth, The King's Speech)

Best Actress: Natalie Portman, Black Swan (Natalie Portman, Black Swan)

Best Supporting Actress: Helena Bonham-Carter, The King's Speech (Melissa Leo, The Fighter)

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale, The Fighter (Christian Bale, The Fighter)

Best Original Score: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network)

Best Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network (Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network)

Best Original Screenplay: Christopher Nolan, Inception (David Seidler, The King's Speech)


So, 4 out of 11. Was on the whole very impressed with the speeches made by the winners above; Christian Bale was moving, Tom Hooper and Colin Firth were very British and very funny, Natalie Portman was just breathtaking.

Next post will be on the best dresses of the night and looking at the make up.
