Last night was the Oscars and for the first time I had seen 5 out of the 10 Best Picture nominees before the ceremony (Black Swan, The Social Network, The Kings Speech, Toy Story 3, Inception). I quickly crowbarred in Black Swan on Sunday evening and very much enjoyed it. Of course I was secretly hoping that The Social Network would win everything, but from the other awards ceremony results I was expecting The Kings Speech to come out as the main winner. I’m glad that Colin Firth finally has an Oscar as he really is a brilliant actor. A Single Man from last year has me sobbing every time I watch it. The most exciting win of the night for me was Trent Reznor for The Social Network’s soundtrack. It’s quite exciting to think that the man who created Nine Inch Nails now has an Oscar!

I didn’t manage to see any of the footage from the event (damn you, Sky), but I did enjoy the photos of James Franco in a dress! I’ll have to try and watch some of the other nominated films soon, with the exception of The Fighter because it just looks awful. Plus I can’t stand Mark Wahlberg.
