Oscar Winners: ‘The King’s Speech’ Reigns, Portman Soars
There weren't a whole lot of surprises at the 83rd Academy Awards -- as expected, "The King's Speech" took the big prize as Best Picture. The film about King George VI overcoming his stutter also garnered a Best Actor statue for Colin Firth and a Best Director win for Tom Hooper.
"King"'s four statuettes tied "Inception," which also nabbed four awards in technical categories, for the most Oscars.
Oscar favorite Natalie Portman also took home the Best Actress statuette for her role in "Black Swan," and Melissa Leo and Christian Bale of "The Fighter" cleaned up in the supporting role categories.

Brian On The Academy Awards
February 25, 2011 It is Oscar night on Sunday. I love movies and watch several a week but the Academy Awards are usually not much of an event to me. I tend to like the movies that do not get nominated for anything and have usually never seen or heard of the movies or performances that are up for the honors. This year I saw more nominated performances than I ever have so I am actually interested in the show.
