The 83rd Academy Awards broad casted on ABC last night were good in the beginning but failed to engage the audience till the end. Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted the awards show while the King’s Speech, Colin Firth, and Natalie Portman won the Oscars last night.

Oscars

The Academy Awards or the Oscars are given every year to recognize best performances of the year. It is the most prestigious award for any actor. The awards, red carpets, and parties are the most hyped and talked about throughout the year. All the actors were best dressed last night and the ladies were amazing to watch. Designer clothes, shoes, accessories, make up, and so on are carefully planned well in advance.

The music performances by Celine Dion, A.R. Rahman, PS 22 Chorus, Gwyneth Paltrow, Randy Newman among others were mesmerizing. The tributes to legends and lost people were good enough. The Kodak theatre in Hollywood, California was enormous with good stage and adjustments. Kodak could accommodate three thousand people and the decorations were impeccable.

The audiences might be bored with the never ending presentations but I think the guests did have a good time. The stars were best dressed and had multiple parties to attend. Elton John and Vanity fair apart from the Governor’s ball are the parties that the stars attend.

Inception won for its visual effects and sound editing and mixing. The Toy Story 3 won the best animation and best original song. King’s Speech won the best director, best film, and best actor. Black Swan won the best actress award while Melissa Leon won the supporting role in the Fighter.  The social network won the best song, best adapted screenplay, and film editing. Overall, the Oscars show was disappointing but I guess the movies are good to watch. 🙂
