2011 Oscars....And The Winner Is.......

And after a very long wait, the Oscar winners have finally been announced.  While I agree with some decisions and disagree with others, I can definitely say that this years nominees are nothing to complain about.  Colin Firth and Natalie Portman were more tan worthy of their best actor and actress wins, and likewise with The King's Speech taking best motion picture.  

Now I love Pixar and all they do, but this year I felt the animated feature award should have gone to the Illusionist as it was a incredibly imaginative story and animated quite well.  But really, no one should be disappointed with the nominations.  Every film and individual deserved what their awards and what they got.  

Anyways, in case you missed the Oscars, and decided NOT to go to the official Oscars website, here are the results, enjoy........
