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.

James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host 2011 Oscars

One of Hollywood's biggest stoners, James Franco, will be 1/2 of the hosting team for the Oscars next year.  Anne Hathaway will be the other half.

This seems like such an odd choice, does it not?  But the Academy Awards producers tell Entertainment Tonight, "James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons -- fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27."



Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne's Love And Other Drugs/Brokeback Mountain co-star, is probably so pissed right now...
