The Oscars

Although The King's Speech triumphed at The Oscars, even Tom Hooper unexpectedly winning best director, it was not my favourite movie of the year. In fact I disagreed with all the following categories. These are my favourites:

Best Film - Inception

Best Director - Christopher Nolan for Inception

Best Actor - James Franco for 127 Hours

Best Actress - Noomi Rapache for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (and the trilogy)

Best Supporting Actor - Geoffrey Rush for The King's Speech

Best Supporting Actress - Helena Bonham Carter for The King's Speech

Having just been to see The Fighter, I nearly changed my mind and joined the Academy's choice of Christian Bale and Melissa Leo for the last two categories. Their performances were just a little over the top to get my vote.
