2011 ACADEMY AWARDS

The King's Speech was crowned Best Film of the year in last night's cinematic gala event. Speech also ended up snagging director, actor, and original screenplay. Inception also left the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles with four statues, (sadly, but well deserved) all in technical categories.
