Well, awards season is coming to an end. The Oscars were last night and my predictions were pretty close. The only category I was surprised by was "Best Director," which ended up going to Tom Hooper of "The King's Speech." It was widely assumed that this award would go to David Fincher for "The Social Network." Runner-up as favorite director was Darren Aronofsky for "Black Swan." Other than that, most awards went to the category favorites and the choices were very close to those who took home SAGs and Golden Globes this season. As for the actually show, it was pretty boring this year. Host James Franco looked stoned most of the time and seemed to give up caring halfway through. Anne Hatheway, the other host, looked nervous half the time and ended giggling like a 14-year old whenever she ran out of things to say. They should have given her more singing and performing numbers, as that's what she excels at, not emceeing. The fashion was not hugely exciting. Helen Bonham Carter did not get nearly as kooky as she usually does. All of my favorites were the purple and blue dresses (pictures below).
