Just finished watching the ceremony as I had it PVR'd due to the game.
Very ordinary show, very predictable show.
I actually watched King's Speech today, so it was fresh on my mind going into the show. I liked it a lot and I have no issue with it winning. I personally enjoyed Inception the most and would have loved to have seen the Academy show some balls and give the award to something different, but oh well.
Firth was very good, but I liked Franco the best.
Portman was amazing and probably the performance of the year. I liked Michelle Williams a lot too. She was my dark horse, but as long as Annette Benning didn't win, I was happy. Kids are Alright was a very mediocre movie. So overrated.
Mellisa Leo and Christian Bale were no brainers.
I thought Fincher was gonna get director for sure. Thought it was his turn, but I got no issue with Hooper.
Overall, the show lacked memorable moments. Outside of Leo's F Bomb and Kirk Douglas, there really wasn't anything I will be talking about tomorrow. Jude Law and Downey Jr were funny.
Franco and Hathaway wont be asked to host again anytime soon, thats for sure. They were just....boring. I kinda liked the Alec Baldwin Inception thing at the beginning. Hathaway's look to Firth in the King's Speech parody was awesome. But there was no big musical number, there was no funny monologue. It was just a whole lot of nothing.
Very ordinary show, 5 out of 10. All major awards going to the favorites doesn't help either.
