For the record I have no problem with Natalie Portman winning. She’s very good in a very demanding role. It’s just that Jennifer Lawrence’s performance had me more emotionally involved.

The King’s Speech is very good and it’s exactly the kind of movie the Academy tends to dig. Overall I think that The Social Network is just a far more impressive movie to have pulled off so well.

I agree that The Social Network should have won best picture. I did not think that The Kings Speech was nearly as good of a movie, neither in acting or how it was made. I disagree that Natalie Portman should not have won Best Actress in a Leading Role though. C’mon Kev! She was brilliant! Otherwise I agree with you on most of these….we will have a discussion later….promise.
