The 83rd Annual Academy Awards: The Winners
4 Hours of Academy Awards is a hell of a lot to watch, so writing up a brief on what was experienced is nothing short of difficult. Be it Kirk Douglas rambling on about how attractive the hosts were, or the sublime shade of green that most of the first-time award winners appeared to be.
So the commentary will come later. But because it is relevant today, here is the categories and winners.

So there you have it. The list of Winners, and conversely the losers. The totals are 4 for Inception and the King’s Speech, 3 for The Social Network, and 2 for Alice in Wonderland, The Fighter, and Toy Story 3.
Shame that Tron: Legacy, How to Train Your Dragon, and 127 Hours all got snubs. But if you have a British accent, and are in the early 20th century, or could run on the ceiling, you were a shoe in.
