Historical 82nd Oscar Results

The results are out!


And the winners are . . .


Motion Picture: "The Hurt Locker."



The most coveted award of the night and apparently Avatar lost on this one. I'm actually quite shocked because I thought that motion picture was all about how the particles in the movie flow, the fluency of the movements and I felt that Avatar epitomize that fluency. Nonetheless, the Hurt Locker ended up in great exultation after its 6th big win at the big night!

• Actor: Jeff Bridges, "Crazy Heart."

• Actress: Sandra Bullock, "The Blind Side."

One of the best actress living and the best part is that we are going to see so much more of her because she is still so young and youthful!

Nonetheless, I must pay a special tribute to Meryl Streep here because she excels in her performance in "Julie and Julia", truly one of her best I must say. She can even make something so mundane like cooking into an enticing art that managed to suck all of us in. I'm sure the number of people interested in cooking has just increased by ten-folds after the release of the movie. Really a masterpiece, bravo!



• Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, "Inglourious Basterds."






• Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique, "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."






• Director: Kathryn Bigelow, "The Hurt Locker."

Well well well, we all know it was the infamous David vs Goliath battle between Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron and Kathryn emerges victorious on this one.


Her movie earns her a total of 6 Oscar awards, making her the biggest winner of the night.


No surprise here to be honest, she really has worked her ass off on this movie and for those of you who have seen the movie, you all should know that it is a near perfect movie. Saying that its fantastic is simply an understatement.


Also, she is the first-ever female director to win the award to date. She more than deserves this honour to be honest.

• Foreign Film: "El Secreto de Sus Ojos," Argentina.






• Adapted Screenplay: Geoffrey Fletcher, "Precious: Based on the Novel `Push' by Sapphire."






• Original Screenplay: Mark Boal, "The Hurt Locker."



• Animated Feature Film: "Up."


I must say that Up is yet another great piece of art developed by Pixar, a movie that is made over decades. It is truly worth the wait. A story about how a passionate young boy who is intrepid, ventures into the dark and evil urban jungle. Really motivating and realistic despite all the fancy cinematography behind the scene.



• Art Direction: "Avatar."


• Visual Effects: "Avatar."


• Cinematography: "Avatar."



Without a shadow of a doubt, Avatar truly deserves the accolade. Best Art direction and cinematography. Avatar deserves no less. I mean just look at the monsters, machines, nature, jungle, tribe members, sky, movement of the plants. Every single detail is so well-taken off and the movie was well controlled as well with a deep subtle message behind it.


One of the best message for me was, "How can we fill a cup that is already full?"

• Sound Mixing: "The Hurt Locker."






• Sound Editing: "The Hurt Locker."

• Original Score: "Up," Michael Giacchino.






• Original Song: "The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)" from "Crazy Heart," Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett.






• Costume: "The Young Victoria."



• Documentary Feature: "The Cove."






• Documentary (short subject): "Music by Prudence."






• Film Editing: "The Hurt Locker."



• Makeup: "Star Trek."






• Animated Short Film: "Logorama."






• Live Action Short Film: "The New Tenants."

Oscar winners, director Katheryn Bigelow (L) for the film "The Hurt Locker," Geoffrey Fletcher, best adapted screenplay winner for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," Mark Boal, best original screenplay winner for "The Hurt Locker," and former Oscar winner Meryl Streep gather at the Governor's Ball following the 82nd Academy Awards in Hollywood, March 7, 2010.

A bunch of dancers bringing out the essence of each movie nominated for their most original soundtrack.

I felt that their dance was more than just dance. They truly brought out the spirit of each movie as the background music start to play.

The one I liked most is for sure Avatar's. I love that little tribal dance that totally encapsulates the life of the Na'vis. It gives me goosebumps as they dance.

So this brings us to the end of the 82 Oscar's awards, do catch the repeat telecast on Channel 5 tonight if you can make it.

Definitely a worthy programme to watch.

This is probably the least we can do to show our respect and love for our dearest actors, actresses and directors out there!
