Review: Academy Awards
4 stars
James Franco and Anne Hathaway opened up the 2011 Academy Awards with a collection of spoofs put together from the Oscar’s top nominated movies: “Inception,” “The Social Network,” “The Fighter,” “True Grit,” “The King’s Speech” and “Black Swan.” The opening had a few funny pieces, but for the most part was filled with corny humor. The Oscars always fail to amuse many of the world’s viewers, so it wasn’t a surprise to see the Oscar’s were once again a failure. One thing the Academy Awards is known for is the red carpet. Actors from the movie “The King’s Speech” were Sunday’s big winners, taking home four awards including Best Picture and Best Actor (Colin Firth). “Inception” also took home four awards for sound and film editing, sound mixing and cinematography. After many humorless jokes and bad drag scenes by Franco and Hathaway, credit was given where credit was due for many of these actors and actresses.
