Its been a few days since the 84th Annual Academy Awards and I must say I was quite pleased with the outcome of most awards, although there was not much surprise with the winners. And a lot of the show was predicable and a bit canned.
First off, congrats to Christopher Plummer for winning best actor in a supporting role! I couldn't have been happier. And his speech was so genuine and sweet.
As for other winners, there was no surprise that The Artist won best picture. In fact, I won a $50 bet that The Artist would win (my poor unsuspecting friend was so sure The Help was a shoe-in, poor girl). After watching The Artist clean up at the Golden Globes, and knowing the demographics of the majority of Academy voters, I knew they had it in the bag.
