83rd Annual ACADEMY AWARDS Winners
Written by USTownhall staff   
Sunday, 27 February 2011 20:31

83rd_Academy_Awards_poster-resizeTonight, Sunday, February 27, 2011, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present the 83rd annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.  The show was hosted by two of young Hollywood's brightest – Anne Hathaway and James Franco – each of whom is a current or former Oscar nominee.

This ceremony was likely one of the shortest on record as it only went over its allotted timeslot by about 15 minutes, which we wholeheartedly approve of.  Hathaway and Franco were both fine as hosts, but we prefered Anne, who livened things up mid-show with a nicely done vocal performance.  Franco did earn some laughs with a bunch of one-liners and by coming out dressed as Marilyn Monroe.  We can't say this was a soaring triumph by the pair, but it wasn't anywhere near a trainwreck, either.  They kept the show moving, and were pleasant company for the three-hour plus telecast.

While the show was very watchable due to its relatively short length, we were disappointed by the complete lack of surprise winners tonight.  All along, we've been saying that Melissa Leo, Christian Bale, Colin Firth, and Natalie Portman were locks for the acting categories because they've also won in these categories during the Golden Globes and the Screen Actor's Guild awards, which are often good predictors as to Oscar results.  Further, The King's Speech director Tom Hooper recently won the prize at the Director's Guild Awards ceremony, which made him the odds-on favorite to win the Directing prize tonight.  Also as predicted, Aaron Sorkin won for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network and David Seidler won Best Original Screenplay for The King's Speech.

 

 Here are the winners in the 24 televised awards:

53rd Annual GRAMMY AWARDS Winners
Written by USTownhall staff   
Sunday, 13 February 2011 11:48

Grammys-53-resizeThe 53rd Annual Grammy Awards were held on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in a three-and-a-half hour ceremony that was broadcast on CBS.  The Grammys give out more awards than any other awards show, but likely broadcasts the fewest.  Only a scant ten awards were given out during the live show, with the others – almost 100 others – given out in the Grammy pre-show that was streamed live online earlier the same day at the nearby Los Angeles Convention Center.  Barbra Streisand was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year two nights earlier on February 11, and she gave a rare live performance on Sunday's Grammys.
