The big day has finally come! First of all, pardon me for not tweeting nor live blogging for this very important event in movie world, I was at work and unfortunately my laptop couldn't connect to the office's internet, so it was a bummer (for the record I live in Indonesia, and it was Sunday, February 28, 8 am here when the show begins — it was surely not a prime time :D). Below I'm going to give you the full winner list (because you might have found out the 'early synopsis' from the event).

"The King's Speech" and "Inception" were the biggest winners of the night with four awards (Christopher Nolan doesn't need to be sad for not being nominated as Best Director, his movie won big!), followed by "The Social Network" with three, and then "Alice in Wonderland", "The Fighter", and "Toy Story 3" for two awards. I am so happy that my Oscars wishes (and predictions) were all right (except Best Original Screenplay which I predicted will go to "Inception"). Overall, the winners reeeally deserve this award, I am truthfully satisfied with the results! Congratulations once again for all of them!
