Oscars 2011

The 83rd annual Academy Awards went down last night with hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco.





Winners:



The King's Speech, 4: ‘Best Picture’, ‘Writing (Original Screenplay)’, ‘Directing’, and ‘Actor In A Leading Role’ (to Colin Firth)



Inception, 4: ‘Cinematography’, ‘Sound Editing’, ‘Sound Mixing’, and ‘Visual Effects’.



The Social Network, 3: ‘Music (Original Score)’, ‘Film Editing’, and ‘Writing (Adapted Screenplay)’.



Toy Story 3, Alice In Wonderland, and The Fighter all took home 2 Oscars each (including Melissa “F-bomb” Leo and Christian Bale for both ‘Supporting Role’ awards). While Natalie Portman earned Black Swan one for ‘Actress In A Leading Role’.







Highlights:

  • Anne Hathaway and James Franco's opening skit.  "You just got Inceptioned!"

  • More than half of Anne's outfits.

  • Kirk Douglas eating up half of the show to present one award... He's pretty fly for an old guy.

  • Melissa Leo dropping the FUCK word and me being able to hear it loud and clear thanks to the lack of delay on the channel I was on.

  • Justin Timberlake on stage joking, "I'm Bansky!", the anonymous graffiti artist nominated in the 'Documentary' category, but lost.

  • Russell Brand translating Helen Mirren.

  • Auto-tuning the movies.  You know it's the future.

  • Christian Bale and his bushy beard seemingly forgetting his wife's name.

  • Sandra Bullock calling Jeff Bridges an award hoarder.  Seriously, she saved the day.

Lowlights:

  • Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem in matching white tuxes and not even explaining why... WHY?

  • Reese Witherspoon's hair clip... So grade 8.

  • Cate Blanchett's lavandar bubble dress with green barf stains.

  • Jude Law and his hairline Ricky Gervais'ing Robert Downey Jr.

  • Gwyneth Paltrow's "performance" with her white microphone.  And if you never did that again, that would be great.

  • Corey Haim not making the 'In Memoriam' segment.  What the fuhhh?

  • Tom Hooper's side screen shot while accepting his Director award.  That is just MEAN.

  • Anne Hathaway turning into a "woo" girl.  "WOOOOO!!!"  One "woo" too many, girl.

  • Everything about James Franco past the opening skit.
