Mister Sulu 1319 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Melissa Leo and Hailee Steinfeld were the only acceptable recipients of this award. Good job so far, Academy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. McNinja 445 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Aaron Sorkin for Best Adapted screenplay. Having read The Accidental Billionaires and True Grit, The Social Network delivered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. McNinja 445 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 King's Speech for best original screenplay. Historical films and "original" has never made sense to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Sulu 1319 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 No love for Chris Nolan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. McNinja 445 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 No love for Chris Nolan. As the only actually original premise, Inception deserved it. Christian Bale with best supporting actor, he was awesome in the Fighter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Sulu 1319 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Yes, he was. Listening to him talk in his natural accent is way weird. Seriously, though, the Academy seems to hate Nolan. Dark Knight doesn't get a nom, and Inception probably won't win much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Sulu 1319 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 I literally applauded when they named Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Knight doesn't get a nom, and Inception probably won't win much. I know. It's probably because he's done (i think) all of one film with his actual accent. As for Nolan, I think the Academy just hasn't been ready to give an Oscar to a comic book film. The next Batman might change that. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross with Best Original score. I thought Inception would get it, but the musical pacing of the Social Network was perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. McNinja 445 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Inception with best sound mixing and sound editing but not best score. Strange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Sulu 1319 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 There is a substantial difference between the categories. I don't think it's at all surprising that it turned out like that. The intensity and amount of work that must have gone into the editing and mixing of Inception is surely enough to win those awards alone. Add in that they were great and it's no surprise. Zimmer's work on Inception was just Dark Knight 2.0 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screech 195 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) As the only actually original premise, Inception deserved it. I liked it better when it was called The Matrix, and I liked THAT better when it was called Descartes' Meditations. EDIT: Really, McNinja? REALLY? The Oscars are SRS BZNESS.

Zimmer's work on Inception was just Dark Knight 2.0 though. Very true, and again, The Social Networking did have an excellent score which was perfectly placed, I guess Inception's much more clear use of music (yeah, dark knight 2.0) left a stronger impression.

Screech 195 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Whether or not King's Speech deserved Best Picture, Colin Firth's performance was mindbogglingly good and easily deserving of Best Male Actor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
