FEBRUARY 27, 2011: Well... it wasn't exactly a clean sweep, with
The King's Speech winning four Oscars in the top categories and
Inception winning another four in the technical categories.
The Social Network came away with three, and
Alice in Wonderland,
Toy Story 3, and
The Fighter earned two each.
Black Swan earned one top award, and
True Grit,
The Kids Are All Right,
127 Hours, and
Winter's Bone went home empty-handed. I haven't seen the foreign language winner,
In a Better World, yet, but it looks pretty typical and will most likely be forgotten in a few years. But at least the Best Documentary win for
Inside Job will hopefully point people toward that crucial film. I also suspect that we will be hearing more from the Best Live Action Short winner,
Luke Matheny. Just a gut feeling. As for the show, it had its moments, but Anne Hathaway totally charmed me as a host. I'm not so sure about her co-host, but then, I'm a guy...
