Natalie Portman – Black Swan (The way she played a character with mental illness was scary at times, no other winner for me.) Geoffrey Rush – The King's Speech Helena Bonham Carter – The King's Speech (Just two great supporting characters here, not much else to say but I really liked both of them in this movie) Darren Aronofsky – Black Swan (A film hasn't made me this uneasy in years, really creepy and it's all down to him really). I didn't even massively love Black Swan because it's a full on horror movie and made me feel so uneasy at times (I know that's the point but it didn't make me enjoy it ) although after seeing it, I do think it was very good but just made me really scared whilst watching it. I'm surprisingly quite kind with giving out equal awards this year, usually I love one movie more than the others but this is two for The King's Speech and Black Swan and a couple of odd awards for the others

Best Actor Jesse Eisenberg – The Social Network Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence – Winter's Bone - Head and shoulders above her other performances and the one time I really think she would have deserved the awards. Best Supporting Actor Geoffrey Rush – The King's Speech - The heart and soul of the film IMO. Even better than Colin, and Bale was just hamming it up as usual. Best Supporting Actress Melissa Leo – The Fighter - She earned this tbh, she was outstanding and easily the best thing about the film (Mark Wahlberg was snubbed!) Best Director David Fincher – The Social Network - I liked all of the films in this catagory, but this one felt the most polished to me. Amazing soundtrack, too.

my anxiety attacks Joined: 15 April 2009 Posts: 30,754 User: 8,674	The two I've seen here are Inception and Toy Story 3. I fell asleep at some point during Inception, must've been too confusing or not interesting enough for 14 year old me. I wouldn't fall asleep these days (there's a reason I mostly go for daytime showings ), but I'm sceptical about how much more I'd enjoy it. Toy Story 3 I couldn't fault, it's brilliant. When it's 9/10 or 10/10 it would be really tough for any of the others to beat it for me, but I've not seen them so who knows.

I haven't seen the other films in this category bar 'Social Network' and I thought Franco was stronger. << Actress: Natalie Portman >> Without a doubt for me. << Supporting Actor: Mark Ruffalo >> Almost by default. I've only seen 'The Town' out of this list and can't remember Jeremy's part too much tbh << Supporting Actress: Hailee Steinfeld >> Not seen ANY of these. But needed to cast a vote in order to process my other votes so I based it purely on who I think would've done a great job. << Director: Darren Aronofsky >> David Fincher is my favourite director ever, but he definitely got out done on this one. Fincher's darker films >>>>> ... 'The Social Network' (and I didn't even hate TSN.) <<
