THE ACADEMY AWARDS 2011 CEREMONY

The beginning was so much fun - mostly "Inception"-based but with my all-time-fave "Back To The Future" included in the movie compilation.

Anne Hathaway, who has recently taken her gear off in "Love And Other Drugs", joked: "I'm not nominated this year. It's how it worked - you get naked, you get nominated. Not any more, not any more."

I've never liked "Toy Story" so not happy about its victory in an animated category.

Shame "Inception" didn't win Best Original Score, well at least Sound and Sound Editing - well deserved of course.

Brilliant - Cate Blanchett watching a scene from soon-to-win Best Make-Up "Wolfman": "It's gross." It had no competitors anyway. Well-deserved Costumes award for "Alice In Wonderland" as well as for Set Decoration before.

Jake Gyllenhaal has dark eyes so must have worn contacts in "Love And Other Drugs".

Billy Crystal was and is so much better a host than Anne Hathaway and what-is-his-name.

"Inception" had no competitors to speak of for Visual Effects. No Oscar for "Black Swan" for Film Editing?!

Jennifer Hudson with a lisp as a presenter?!

No Oscar for Darren Aronofsky?! Well, at least one for Natalie Portman. But can't they see he directs actresses into their best?

So after all Colin Firth didn't stutter accepting his reward. Still, he acted out the acceptance part masterfully.
