[Liberty4eva]

did black swan win anything? :amazed:

I think best actess (Portman).

[arista]

The Kings Speech
a good film - but to many awards. (All the other films were not good?)
Had to use some final Public funding to be made.

"Not bad for a film that was shot on a modest £8m production budget. Not bad for a picture that was passed over by both Film4 and the BBC and was eventually seeded as the result of a £1,022,000 investment from the UK Film Council."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/feb/11/baftas-the-kings-speech-riches

[Grimnir]

David Fincher should have got best director
Hans Zimmer should have got best score
Amy Adams should have got best supporting actress
and TOY STORY 3 IS BEST PICTURE :tongue:

all the others I don't mind

[Omah]

The Kings Speech
a good film - but to many awards.

4 is not too many :

11 Titanic 1997

11 Ben-Hur 1959

11 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003

[Locke.]

Glad Bale won, one of the best performances I've ever seen.

4 Oscars for Inception aswell :)

[Niamh.]

0417 Natalie Portman is named best actress.

0426 Colin Firth wins the award for best actor.

:cool:

Good result, they would have been my choices

[Locke.]

Just starting on Sky movies channels now

[Stu]

How stoned was James Franco throughout that whole borefest?

[Tom4784]

It was a fairly boring ceremony, not that it's usually a rollercoaster of excitement but most of the winners were predictable and a lot of them were fairly unjust.

[Stu]

Have to say I was delighted for Trent Reznor.

[Josy]

How stoned was James Franco throughout that whole borefest?

I was actually thinking that last night, his eyes seemed to have trouble focusing at one point :laugh:

[Zippy]

very predictable results. Boring ceremony.

Liked Natalie and Colins speeches. They were both perfect.
