For the most part this years Academy Awards was pretty lame - not bad just lame.  There weren't any really original ideas or funny presentations...it was just a regular awards show.  You know what would have been sweet though? If Oprah had come out and said something awesome and Oprahish like "Audience - you are all going to Australia!!!!"  Instead we get this - and the winners are -

"The King's Speech" was the big winner at last night's Oscars, bringing in FOUR awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for TOM HOOPER and Best Actor for COLIN FIRTH.

"The Social Network" pulled down THREE awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for AARON SORKIN and Best Original Score for TRENT REZNOR and Atticus Ross.

“Inception" actually won FOUR awards, too, but they were all unglamorous technical trophies like Cinematography, Sound Editing and stuff like that.
