The awards season is officially over, following last night's 83rd Annual Academy Awards ceremony broadcast with hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway. There were hardly any surprises for the awards, drunken/disorderly behaviour onstage or weepy/over-emotional acceptance speeches. As expected, The King's Speech was a favourite to win Best Picture with The Social Network expected to be its main competition. However, Inception equalled The King's Speech with 4 wins and The Social Network won 3 Academy Awards.
