The 83rd Annual Academy Awards is history, and "The King's Speech" was a big winner, taking home four Oscars, including Best Picture.  Colin Firth won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film, and Tom Hooper won Best Director.

Other major acting awards went to Natalie Portman for Best Actress in "Black Swan" - Melissa Leo and Christian Bale won the Best Supporting Actress and Actor awards for "The Fighter."

This year's Oscars featured hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco.  Critics seemed divided on whether the first-time Oscar hosts did a good job.  Erik Pedersen of E! News was not enamored of the stars' efforts, writing that he realized shortly after the Inception-style opening montages that Franco and Hathaway "were going to keep hosting through the whole thing and it wasn't all an Inception dream."  Robert Bianco of "USA Today" said even when Franco and Hathaway "stumbled, there was a sweetness to their performance that kept them from being aggravating." 

How did the Oscars do, ratings-wise?  According to "The Hollywood Reporter," Nielsen data shows that ABC's Academy Awards telecast was down nearly 27 percent as compared to last year.

This has been Celebs in 60 Seconds.

Why the hell did they put him in a dress? They didn't need to do that. Other than that I thought they were great as hosts.

Christian Bale was awesome...

[EthanEternal]

@ss66ii77 Aww, he actually looks better there than I was giving credit for, hee... I think I was more responding to all the unfavorable critique of their hosting abilities. I didn't get to see the Academy Awards, even though I wanted to, because I was away in the country. I only saw the clips. I was thinking they would probably be a couple of the more favorable hosts ever, but that didn't seem to be the consensus...

I was still rooting for Christian Bale, so much, even though I was away...
