So the Oscars (83rd Academy Awards), hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway, got down and dirty last night as the creme de la creme of the entertainment world showed up to honour the past year's films.
Unsurprisingly 'The King's Speech' did very well nabbing Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Director and Original Screenplay.
Being nudged out last year by Jeff Bridges, Colin Firth's captivating portrayal of George VI' s battle against his stammer has well and truly been very deserved. Tom Hooper was also honoured for his vision in bringing this fantastic tale to life and duly accepted, but not before thanking his mother who apparently was the main reason for the film's inception.
Other winners included:
Christian Bale - Best Supporting Actor - The Fighter
Natalie Portman - Best Actress - Black Swan
Melissa Leo - Best Supporting Actress - The Fighter
Aaron Sorkin - Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay - The Social Network
Sadly the Coen's Bros' mighty 'True Grit' didn't get any gongs...
There is always next year.
