Winners for the 2011 Academy Awards


Apparently, a whole mess of famous and infamous people got all dressed up last night and gave each other awards. It seems they do this every year. I did not watch, but it's considered a big event and the winners are often quite happy, as you can see in the above photograph that I assume was taken after the awards were handed out.

Is it just me, or does it look like Christian Bale is wearing a fake beard?

In all seriousness, Inside Job won for best documentary (I was hoping for Restrepo) and it is a deserving winner - if you have not seen it, you should.
