The Oscar Awards were held yesterday, with The King's Speech collecting most awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Here are some of Tim's thoughts about the awards...
Natalie Portman
Ben and I saw Black Swan at Toronto International Film Festival back in September 2010. We immediately walked out and said “Portman will win the Oscar for Best Actress”. We were right! Natalie Portman is a darling. She's very humble.
Inception
I thought Director Chris Nolan was pushed to the side a little - over in the far isle. Leonardo DiCaprio didn't even get a mention. I thought Chris Nolan deserved more but at least Inception was recognised for Cinematography and Visual Effects.
The King’s Speech
David Seidler who wrote The King's Speech was exceptional and deserved best original screenplay - what a phenomenal effort. Tom Hopper’s story of his mother putting him onto the concept was one of those prophetic snapshot moments of someone being ushered into their destiny. Very inspiring. In some ways the Oscars feel a little one dimensional - it really only celebrates the top 6 films of the year. I get the feeling that the films often selected are not always 'the best' in every category but the most 'popular'. It feels paper thin pretty quickly.
Did you watch the Oscars? What did you think?
