King's Speech gathers awards in a "boring" Oscars 2011 show | Salon Magazine

Oscar has fallen, and he can't get up. Now, if you get that reference, you're probably: A) too old to belong to the demographic that was supposedly being hunted by the producers of Sunday night's dreary and confused telecast, and B) too young to have written most of the shtick. Presented with one of the most varied and interesting lists of nominated films in recent memory -- many of which had actually been seen by large numbers of paying humans -- the academy managed to screw up its messaging totally and create a soul-sucking black hole of boredom.

Of course, if you happened to be looking at the lovely and exquisite Natalie Portman throughout the show, there's now way you'd be bored.
