Oscars: The Winners

I didn't watch the ceremony, but I read the results. My picks did pretty dismally, as the following list will show. The winner is listed first, with my pick in [brackets] after it. In the rare instance that I chose correctly, the brackets say "correct."

Best Picture: The King's Speech [The Social Network]
Actor in a Leading Role: Colin Firth in The King's Speech [James Franco in 127 Hours]
Actor in a Supporting Role: Christian Bale in The Fighter [John Hawkes in Winter's Bone]
Actress in a Leading Role: Natalie Portman in Black Swan [Correct]
Actress in a Supporting Role: Melissa Leo in The Fighter [Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit]
Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3 [Correct]
Art Direction: Alice in Wonderland [The King's Speech]

It is worth noting, as per my hopes from the earlier post, that "The Social Network" did not win best picture, and the "God of Love," the live-action short film that I chose solely for its hilarious synopsis, won.
