And the Oscar goes to…

Well, it’s finally happened. The biggest and most anticipated Hollywood awards show of the year took place on Sunday. The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, was a much-awaited event. Unfortunately, as many people have said, the show this year was even less amusing than usual. It is usually expected that the Oscars will be filled with dull speeches and monotonous clapping each year, but as far as I’ve heard, most people are blaming the hosts for this show’s uninteresting effect. The young hosts, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, were expected to be quite funny; however, they failed to deliver.
           
Nevertheless, this night was still filled with great achievements by directors, actors, producers, and more. Christian Bale, a first-time nominee, won the award for Best Supporting Actor. Melissa Leo was named Best Supporting Actress. The Oscar for Best Actress was won by Natalie Portman, and Colin Firth won the title of Best Actor.
Also winning multiple awards, The Kings Speech took home the award for Best Picture.
