The year's most glamorous ceremony, The 83rd Academy Awards was aired on February 27th 2011 at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. The show was hosted by young and multi-talented actress and actor, James Franco and Anne Hathaway. This year's Oscars was said to be a huge dissapointement, particularly James Franco's performance as the host for there was a remarkable decrement on the number of viewers. Despite all the negative feedback on the hosts, I personally do think that they both looked natural, relax and smart, altough their duets lacked of chemistry. Not to mention Anne's beautiful voice when she sang "Own My Own" from Les Miserables which seemed to dazzle all the audiences and viewers. She was confirmed to be a Glee guest star as Kurt's long-lost lesbian aunt. Moreover, the Oscars auto-tune music video mash-up was such a surprise and hillarious.

| Winner - Best Picture - Emile Sherman, Gareth Unwin and Iain Canning for The King's Speech |
2011's Oscar night was obviously ruled by The King's Speech which won 4 Oscars from its 12 nominations. I'd like to say congrats to others who won the Oscars, but in here - Oscars, for me, everybody is definitely a winner.
