wow. i had the girl from "true grit" taking it for best supporting actress.. in fact i was surprised she wasn't nominated for best actress. even thought she's 14 she did a hell of a job. even way, way better of a job than the woman who played the same exact role in the 60's version on the film which won a golden globe for best picture, and starred John Wayne, which won him the oscar for best actor at the academy's in '69, which was the role Jeff Bridges was playing, in which he was nominated for best actor award in 2011, an award which he won last year for another film.
and i'll give it to natelie on that role..it seemed the most strenuous of all the roles all the actresses played apart in their respective roles.
I knew Christian Bale was (rightfully) gonna win b.s.a.
the king's speech.. ok.
it was oscar caliber-like in a way..i enjoyed true grit and winter's bone moreso. outta all the best pic nominees i havent seen "the kids are alright" and "toy Story 3" yet but i will in the next day or two. so my choice may change but i thought either "inception" or "black swan" was gonna win just because but then again sci fi/fantasy films have never been popular with the academy's anway, but it was just a thought..
what are your thoughts?...

I didn't see any of the movies that won any of those rewards besides Toy Story 3. But whatever. Eventually the Oscar's ratings will drop so low due to their fetish for indie movies no one's heard about that they'll become irrelevent.

I didn't watch the Oscars, so I don't know who else was nominated. But off the top of my head, Amy Adams in 'The Fighter' did a better and more powerful role as a female lead.

I sooo wanted Helena Bonham-Carter to finally take home an Oscar for "The King's Speech." She was fantastic. Bale was destined to take the best supporting, in fact, both actor and actress award stayed the same since the SAG awards. I assume Inception got cinematography and special effects, all those technical ones.
I wanted to see mila kunis get best supporting actress...
and obviously many of you haven't seen The King's Speech, judging by the haters. It was an awesome movie.

King's Speech is fantastic. Not so sure about Carter's role, while not terrible in the least, she really wasn't a stand-out. Than again, she could have just been that over-shadowed by the other two.
