Oscars 2011 Summary



The Acedemy Awards 2011The 83rd Academy Awards took place last night in Hollywood. The critics have been fairly harsh on this year’s hosts, James Franco and Anne Hathaway, but Franco took most of the flack. The Academy was attempting to target a younger audience but it seems they missed the mark with this year’s hosts who’s comedic attempts fell a bit flat.

As for what the night is really all about, the big winner was, “The King’s Speech” which took home the coveted awards for best picture, original screenplay and best director. Colin Firth won the best actor award for his role in “The Kings Speech”.

Natalie Portman took home the best actress honor for her role in “Black Swan”. “The Fighter” was represented by Melissa Leo winning best supporting actress and Christian Bale won best supporting actor for his role. Censors had to “bleep” Leo’s speech after she got caught up in the moment and ended up using the f-word.
