No real surprises but a lot of well deserved wins (particularly for Spike Jonze for Her, a film which frankly deserved far more nominations than it received). Based on this years nominations though, it was never going to be a disaster like some years previous where an undeserving film swept the night (and by this I obviously mean that year that Braveheart won a load of Oscars, beating out seriously great films such as Dead Man Walking, Babe and Apollo 13 in various categories. SERIOUSLY?! BRAVEHEART?! MEL GIBSON?! WHAT WAS THE ACADEMY DOING IN 1996 TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN?!).

All in all a great Oscar ceremony, well presented by Ellen who did a great job at maintaining the energy of the show (The Oscars is a marathon, not a sprint. It isn't the brief two hours & done that the BAFTAs is!). Although I must say that the red carpet coverage on E! drives me up the bloody wall. I endured an hour this year before changing to the other coverage (that started an hour later) provided on Sky Movies itself.
