Well there were no surprises during last night's 82nd Academy Awards, unless you consider that the show was actually LESS than 3 hours this year.
Not to toot my own horn but I went 6 for 6 in this year's top categories, but then again I'm assuming most people were pretty accurate with their predictions this year.
The Hurt Locker won for Best Picture, beating out box office titan Avatar, while Hurt Locker Director Kathryn Bigelow became the first female ever to win the Best Director award. All-in-all the film earned 6 awards last night to lead everyone.
The acting categories were no-brainers, but the speeches themselves were pretty good. But I think Monique (winner for Best Supporting Actress for Precious) needs to tone down the seriousness a bit (remember girl, you were in Phat Girls not that long ago...).
Christopher Waltz took home the Best Supporting Actor trophy for his turn as a crazy-ass Nazi in Inglourious Basterds, while Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock finished their awards season sweep by winning lead actor and actress in a movie (for Crazy Heart and The Blindside.)
Hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were a hoot, which made the show shorter than it actually was (two and a half hours is still a long time), offering brotherly-like banter while they shared the stage.
Overall a very entertaining, be it predictable show!
