Oscar 2011: winners and The King’s Speech

The King’s Speech takes home the big Oscars, including Best Actor for Colin Firth. Here’s our look at what won, and what we thought of it all…











And so it came to pass that, once more, the Oscars went with a film that was very much within its comfort zone. Taking home the gongs for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay,
Elsewhere, The Social Network won awards for its screenplay, its score, and its editing. The Fighter bagged a pair of best supporting trophies, while many awards went along with predictions. Thus, Natalie Portman won Best Actress, Toy Story 3 was Best Animation, Inception took a collection of technical prizes home (as well as a well deserved cinematography Oscar for Wally Pfister).
Inevitably, the debate has begun already as to where Oscar has gone right and wrong here. As I said in my predictions last Friday, I really like The King’s Speech, but giving it prizes for screenplay and direction, given what it was up against there, is veering very much on the side of generous. I do congratulate all involved, and massive credit to Tom Hooper simply for getting the project going. But if I was David Fincher, I’d be wondering what I had to do to get a Best Director statue. No quibbles whatsoever with Colin Firth, mind.
Still, I learned a while back that the best way to deal with some of the choices of the Oscars is to substitute the word ‘Best’ in the category award names for ‘Favourite’. That seems a lot more honest.


The Social Network was only able to pull in awards for best adapted screenplay (Aaron Sorkin), best soundtrack (Trent Reznor) and best film editing, while The King’s Speech pulled in top honors for best actor, best director and the coveted best picture among various other categories.

Rachel Weisz Starring In Psychosexual 360

Rachel Weisz is on a roll. Not only has the Oscar winner received warm reviews for her role as a righteous voice for oppressed Bosnian women in TIFF entry The Whistleblower , but she's also slated to star in Terrence Malick's next project. On top of these comes news that she’ll star in director Fernando Mereilles' 360.

This will be Weisz and Mereilles' second collaboration, after The Constant Gardener, which earned Weisz her Oscar for portraying an activist slain in
Africa. While Rachel’s career has resisted any sort of easily definable path (from The Fountain to The Brothers Bloom to The Lovely Bones), even for her 360 will be a weird. The movie’s being described as a psychosexual drama, with a script based on the Arthur Schnitzler play, Reigen. The play takes the audience through brief scenes between couples, either before or after a sexual encounter. Each new scene shows one member of the previous coupling with another sexual partner, and so on. Apparently this linking of sexual liaisons comes full circle, whatever that exactly means.

It will be interesting to see Mereilles try and pull off this high concept, which has inspired a good number of previous films, including Ken Kwapis's 2005 Sexual Life. Weisz is an amazing actress who should provide a wonderful anchor for the director's experiment.

Penelope Cruz Wanna Adopt 20 Children


Penelope Cruz picture
Penelope Cruz, the 33-year-old Spanish actress, has always had a childhood dream of adopting a huge brood of children. But the beauty reveals that it is impossible to become a mum now as she is enjoying her jet-setting career too much.
Cruz says, "I'd love to have kids. Maybe I'll adopt about 20 children - that's been my dream since I was a little girl. I love children, but at the moment I'm happy with my career. If one day I have a baby I'm not going to be able to work like I do now. I can be in London one day, Miami the next, New York after that, then back to L.A. I travel more than some pilots!"
