Oscar winners 2011
British film The King's Speech has won the Oscar for Best Picture at the Oscars 2011, with Colin Firth picking up Best Actor. The movie also picked up Best Director for Tom Hooper and Best Original Screenplay.
The other big winners were Inception, which snapped up most of the technical Oscars, The Social Network and Toy Story 3.
It was a night of few surprises, with all the favourites taking home the gongs. Perhaps in anticipation, presenter James Franco appeared dressed in drag. His co-host, Anne Hathaway, quipped to the Hollywood glitterati that this was the 'young and trendy Oscars'. At 28, she is the youngest presenter in Academy Awards history.
Here is the full list of Oscar winners 2011:

Toy Story 3 - Brilliant, our favourite kids' film of 2010!
Best Adapted Screenplay
Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network. We loved this film, and Aaron gave a great speech!

David Seidler for The King's Speech. The first of many awards for this film tonight?

Christian Bale for The Fighter. Good choice, Academy, we thought he was absolutely amazing in this, and he gave a lovely speech where he got a bit teary and called his wife his 'mast through life'.

Best Director
Tom Hooper for The King's Speech. This is only Oscar number two for this film so far... maybe it's not going to do as well as we all thought?
Best Actress In A Leading Role
Natalie Portman. Hmm, we're not sure about this - we had a last minute change of heart and decided Annette Bening should have got this one...
Best Actor In A Leading Role
Colin Firth. Biggest non-surprise of the night - we wrote this while Sandra Bullock was still reading out the nominees!
Best Picture
The King's Speech. Hands up who saw that one coming?
