Oscars 2011 winners

The red carpet has rolled in the winners. And so after hours of watching Tweets and live blogging sessions, I now present to you the 2011 Academy Award winners:

The King's Speech bags major plums, including Best Picture, Director, and Actor.

Best Picture: The King's Speech

Best Director: Tom Hooper, The King's Speech

Best Actor: Colin Firth, The King's Speech

There was no contest (in my opinion) that Natalie Portman will win Best Actress for her role as ballet dancer Nina.

Best Actress: Natalie Portman, Black Swan

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale, The Fighter

Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo, The Fighter

Best Original Screenplay: David Sleider, The King's Speech

Though losing the Best Picture award, The Social Network managed to win some accolades, including Best Adapted Screenplay.

Best Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network

Best Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3

Best Foreign Language Film: In a Better World (Denmark)

Best Documentary Feature: The Inside Job

Best Art Direction: Alice in Wonderland

Technical awards were given to Inception, such as Best Cinematography and Visual Effects.

Best Cinematography: Inception

Best Film Editing: The Social Network

Best Costume Design: Alice in Wonderland

One of the best movies of 2010, Toy Story won for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

Best Original Song: We Belong Together by Randy Newman for Toy Story 3

Best Original Score: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for The Social Network

Best Animated Short: The Lost Thing

Best Documentary Short: Strangers No More

Best Live Action Short: God of Love

Best Makeup: The Wolfman

Best Sound Editing: Inception

Best Sound Mixing: Inception

Best Visual Effects: Inception

I think the major winners were pretty predictable, especially for the acting awards. Though I would've wanted my personal favorite, Toy Story 3, to bag the biggest plum that night, I think The King's Speech is a worthy winner.

Congratulations to everyone!

7 Random Things About Me

Yeah, I know it's been quite a while since I last posted. A lot of things are eating up my blogging time (and I'm blogging when and where? Hahaha!). But thanks to pinaymomonline, she gave me a reason to get back to blogging with this award:

Now, with this award, I'm also asked to share 7 things about me. So who's the Pinay airing her Points of View here? She:

1. Is a working mom who's got a bubbly, curly-haired 1-year-old angel named Anna Zafina;

2. Has been married to a guy who's got hair that's longer than hers (so much so that people get confused whether he's a guy or a girl without his facial hair) for almost 3 years now;

3. Actually likes listening to music, and grew up loving Madonna's songs, among others;

4. A certified 80s baby;

5. Once dreamed of becoming a lawyer, a radio DJ, and a fashion designer, but is presently working as a web content writer;

6. Hates the rains since Ondoy happened;

7. Is not the type to be considered "stylish." She doesn't put on make-up and now rarely wears heels, opting for more laid-back styles such as shirt, jeans, and flats.

So now that you've got to know a little about the person behind this blog, it's time to let 15 others share 7 random things about themselves. And thus I choose the bloggers behind:

Pink Memoirs
Utotmopink
Life Can't Wait
Presentation Animation
Life Ascending
Elvira's Roundabout
A Journey From the Past
Pop Ups of My Mind
Missus Bounty Basket
Blogging is My New Hobby
Life As I See It
Salmoncat's Entries
The Tsinay Writes
Happiness
The Modern Pinay Wife

Hope you can pass this award to other bloggers, too. That's 15 bloggers and 7 random things about you. Ready? Go!
