It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.
This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 83rd Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 2010. It was held February 11th 2011 at the Kodak Theatre. Tom Hooper's The King's Speech was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won 4, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a leading role. It was also the second year in a row where the Oscars were being hosted by two hosts. It wasn't Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin who hosted the previous year, but it was Anne Hathaway and James Franco who had the honour to host the event together. This was a way to bring in the young crowd and boost the ratings up. Given the negative responses the ceremony got, they did not do such a good job with Anne Hathaway doing much of the heavy lifting. The night was also memorable for Melissa Leo dropping a surprise F-bomb, a first for an Oscars event.
