Best Picture

Stevie S is out to give us the haps on who won best picture.

Like I said, 10 best pictures is a bit much.

Social Network, and King's Speech are your frontrunners. Don't count out Black Swan though.

Here we go...

The King's Speech!

Social Network lost momentum in the last stretch and King's Speech wins at the tape!

OSCARS 2011 CON'T

I have totally lost track. That's what happens with a five month old.

Congrats to tom hooper for Best Director. Great Choice.

Natalie Portman absolutely deserved Best Actress. I think I would have been fairly disappointed if Annette Benning won.

Best Actor: Has to be Firth?

...Firth! A long time coming for hands down one of the best actors in the World. I think he gets Knighted after this.

OSCARS 2011 CON'T

Ceine Dion is out to sing over the "in remembrance " montage.

Did we need to see her live? Thankfully no applause as the clip played. Always gets awkward.

Halle Berry out to introduce Lena Horne tribute.

OSCARS 2011 CON'T

Best Documentary Feature:


...Inside Job, Sorry, had to take a break for feeding. I thought Restrepo would have won, but Inside job was the most current.

Inception wins for Visual Effects.

They are just cleaning up in the tech categories.

You would think this build momentum for a best picture win, but you might be wrong.

Film Editing: Usually a bell weather for Best picture:

....Social Network. Yep, this pretty much means Social Network gets Best Pic.

Jennifer Hudson is out to introduce the next two Best Song Noms. Has she never used a teleprompter before? She looked like a deer in headlights...

Sooo, best original song is...

Randy Newman and his second win. Awesome speech from cranky Randy Newman!

oSCARS 2011 CON'T

by the numbers so far...

Best Short Doc Film...

no idea...

...strangers no more karen goodmn and kirk smon, sorry, baby in other arm

Best short feature:

God of Love... great speech from luke matheny

OSCARS 2011 CON'T

Technical awards. So underrated. I love those guys...and Franco just destroyed their achievement...Nice.

Makeup achievement:

...Rick Baker and the Wolfman crew! Too bad the movie wasn't better.

Costume design: Alice in Wonderland?

Yep, Coleen Atwood. I don't know how she wouldn't have been selected. When she goes big, she is amazing. I really loved the King's Speech costumes though. Obviously they weren't as flashy, but they were so spot on and comprehensive.

Best song:

Montage of people talking about their favorite songs somewhere in LA. Oh, surprise Obama clip touting As Time Goes By...

Spacey breaks into song, claims to be Clooney... and introduces the first nominated song. Randy Newman again. What is an Oscar telecast without a Randy Newman song? Refreshing, that's what.

Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi for Tangled. Who new Levi could sing like that? hunh.

Annd break!

OSCARS 2011 CON'T

Seriously, pimping ABC? Great, let's limit more speeches...

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, the World's least offensive Aussies. Not that I consider Aussies offensive.

History of sound in movies.

Ladies and Gentlemen, John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra! Not really... :(

Best original score: Hmmm, Social Network for it's minimalist glow? Or Inception's bombast?

And it goes to... Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The lead singer of Nine Inch Nails just won an Oscar. God, the 90's were soooo long ago.

ScarJo and Matt Mcmo.

Best Sound Mixing: I think Inception has to win this one.

...Inception! That film did so many things right...

Sound editing: Inception two in a row... maybe.

...Inception again! I really don't know how they would have given them mixing and then not have given them editing.
