Big surprises last night! I knew that there were strong possibilities of not seeing The Social Network winning the Best Picture Oscar instead of The King's Speech, but I never thought that the David Fincher won't take home the Best Director prize! I confess that I was a little bit shocked, most because of the fact that Fincher has an amazing body of work and he's has some legendary movies under his belt like Se7en, Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Social Network (in which he showed great Oscar-quality direction work). That just seemed wrong to me!
Black Swan gave a lot to Natalie Portman - lots of critical praise, a fiancé, a baby and an Oscar. And everybody knows she deserved the prize for such a magnifique performance.
Christian Bale won the Oscar! I knew the Academy would reward all his work (I think he has no professional acting formation).
Hailee Steinfeld didn't win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for True Grit (the Coen brothers' movie was the Biggest Looser of the Oscar's night), which goes in the wrong direction I predicted, but let's be fair: she didn't need it - she's already seen as a big promise. Now, Melissa Leo is thanking God for seeing her self-promotion "commercials" ebing rewarded alongside her performance in The Fighter (yes, she paid some things that said "for your consideration" with her name).
Just to say that I think Inception should be the most deservable winner of the Best Art Direction prize, but Alice In Wonderland was (only) visually strong, so why not reward a Tim Burton blockbuster?
