Academy Awards ke-83 telah mengukuhkan “The King’s Speech” sebagai film terbaik tahun ini, pada minggu malam (27/02/11) waktu setempat atau senin pagi di Indonesia. Walau sudah diprediksi dari awal bahwa film ini akan memenangkan kategori puncak tersebut, namun banyak pihak, termasuk saya, yang berharap “The Social Network” bisa mencuri piala dari sang raja. “The King’s Speech” malam itu memboyong 3 piala lagi (dari 12 nominasi), selain film terbaik, Oscar juga jatuh ke tangan sutradara Tom Hooper, lalu Colin Firth yang dimahkotai aktor terbaik dan David Seidler memenangkan kategori skenario asli terbaik. Tidak banyak kejutan memang pada Oscar tahun ini, para pemenang dari masing-masing kategori utama, khususnya untuk nominasi yang berkaitan dengan akting, ternyata tidak jauh berbeda dari kebanyakan prediksi yang bermunculan sebelumnya,  misalnya Natalie Portman yang akhirnya berhasil menyabet Oscar untuk aktris terbaik. Untuk Oscar tahun ini dari 24 kategori, saya hanya berhasil menebak dengan benar 16 kategori saja, tapi yang menyenangkan adalah bisa melihat “Inception” membawa pulang 4 Oscar, salah-satunya sinematografi terbaik. Ok tanpa banyak berbasa-basi lagi inilah daftar lengkap pemenang Oscar 2011 (pemenang ditandai dengan warna merah).
