This was one of the ceremonies where everyone seemed to be in agreement - although I would have liked The Social Network to have won Best Picture. But very happy for Portman and Firth. Didn't Portman look beautiful?

What with those horrid hosts? I think they should just have a hostless ceremony - let the presenters do what they do. No need for a couple of people up there embarrassing themselves (or bring back Crystal!)
Im over the moon about Kings Speech winning. Its the first time since Chicago 2002 that a picture I loved grabbed the award. So deserving too! As was Firth - I just love him in this movie.
I haven't seen Fighters (no desire to) so I don't know how much the supporting actors deserved their awards, but I was really hoping for Geoffrey Rush and Hailee Steinfield(didn't she look adorable in that dress?) Ah well. I hope to see more of her - someone was talking that she might be the lead in Hunger Games.

SLOC & I were trying to work out how Jeff Bridges got a Best Actor nom, but Hailee Stanfield got a Best Supporting nom, where they were both equal with amout of screen-time.
SLOC thinks it could be because Stanfield is only 14/15, but I think that makes her performance more worthy of a Best Actress nom.
That being said, I still think Natalie Portman would have won Best Actress.
