83rd Academy Award Winners

The 83rd Academy Awards were on last night and from all accounts (I had to work), it was a fairly boring and predictable show. Apparently the highlight was Best Supporting Actress Melissa Leo dropping an F-bomb during her acceptance speech. The King’s Speech was the big winner of the night taking Best Picture, Director and Actor while took a bunch of the technical awards.  See the whole list of winners below.
