The Oscars 2011: Winners

There weren't too many surprises last night at the 83rd Academy Awards. As you can see below, The King’s Speech was the talk of the night with a few little shocks here and there. 

For me the BAFTAs were much more exciting - partly due to the fact I could actually watch them due to being in Britain! 

It was a disappointing night for many films nominated, including True Grit, The Kids Are All Right, Winter’s Bone and 127 Hours, who altogether picked up no awards. Between them they notched up 10 nominations - making them the biggest Oscar losers since the 1985 Oscars.

Let’s look back at the night’s winners and highlights...

(My) empire state of mind

This is one of my favourite Elmify videos, where she visits New York.
It is a mix of the fantastic 'Thoughts from Places' series the Vlogbrothers do so well and Elmify's brilliant quirky charm.
