Overall this year the Oscars were pretty mild. Over the last few years with all of the fashion blunders that have happened, it seems like everyone either relied more on their stylists, or just took more conservative of an approach in general.
There were a few outfits that just didn't seem to do to well, such as the dress that looked like it was part of the furniture from a 50's diner, or a dress that looks like it should have been part of a sunflower field, but other than that, very mellow.
Not having seen "The King's Speech" yet, I personally thought that "Inception" should have won Original Screenplay. From the sounds of "The King's Speech", I think of "A Beautiful Mind" just by the commercials. Granted, one is about Overcoming Stuttering, and the other deals with Mental Illness... "Inception" to me just really stood out.
At any rate, there are a few more movies to add to my list of "Must See" now.

Although, at times it kinda felt like a roast for Hugh Jackman.
I really like when they did the projection of Bob Hope though. Being a nerd, I always like that sort of thing though.
