My Thoughts, for what they are worth:
Best Motion Picture – Drama: The Social Network took the award, I’m not surprised or unhappy at this as it is a great movie, personally I would have given it to Inception.
Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Not the strongest category (okay so it contained some utter crap to be honest) but the best of the nominated film won: The Kids Are All Right.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama: Colin Firth for The King’s Speech was a great choice, hopefully he will walk away with the Oscar and BAFTA too.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama: I really wanted Jennifer Lawrence to win for Winter’s Bone but can’t complain about Natalie Portman for Black Swan as I haven’t seen the movie yet. What I can complain about is UK distribution and the fact I haven’t been able to see Black Swan yet!
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Paul Giamatti won for Barney’s Version, again this one isn’t out over here yet so don’t know how good he is in it. I am just glad Johnny Depp didn’t win for the two mediocre movie he was nominated for (sorry Johnny, nothing personal, they just weren’t much good)
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Annette Bening won for The Kids Are All Right, she was great in the movie (as was co star Julianne Moore) but I would have given it to Emma Stone for Easy A with Anne Hathaway for Love and Other Drugs a close second.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture: The winner was Christian Bale for The Fighter, no surprise, it isn’t out here yet, so I will have to reserve judgment, I will say both Andrew Garfield in The Social Network and Geoffrey Rush in The King’s Speech were brilliant. 
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture: Melissa Leo won for The Fighter that as I mentioned above I haven’t seen yet, in fact the only nominated movie in this category I have seen is The King’s Speech and really enjoyed Helena Bonham Carter’s performance.
Best Director – Motion Picture: David Fincher won for The Social Network, I would have been happy with him or Christopher Nolan for Inception. In some ways I think Fincher deserved it more than Nolan as he made such a great movie out of so little.
Best Screenplay – Motion Picture: Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network was absolutely the right winner.
Best Original Song – Motion Picture: No decent songs in this category but the winner is Diane Warren “You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me” from Burlesque. Her first win after four nominations.
Best Original Score – Motion Picture: Trent (Nine Inch Nails) Reznor and Atticus Ross for The Social Network were deserved winners, A.R. Rahman for 127 Hours is also worthy of note.
Best Animated Film: I can’t complain at Toy Story 3, it was the only animated movie I saw all year.
Best Foreign Language Film: In a Better World from Denmark won, unfortunately I haven’t seen this or any of the other nominations.
I will skip over most of the TV awards as I don’t watch most of the winning shows but will mention Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama that went to Katey Sagal for the hugely underrated Sons of Anarchy.
Personally I’m happy with the Social Network wins. I didn’t think Inception would win anything, nor do I think it is a nomination worthy film but rather ust a good action movie. I don’t think it will fare much better at the Oscars either. Good for Susanne Bier, I haven’t seen her new film but she is easily one of my favourite filmmakers and one who never gets as much notice/respect as she deserves.
Inception isn’t an award friendly movie but it is a great movie!
Now you know how itfeels this side of the Atlantic re: release dates, it is nice to get something before the US for a change. Black Swan is certainly a talking piece if nothing else.
I think I’m on the same side of the Atlantic as you! Have now seen Black Swan and loved it.
man, as usual the Oscars are gonna be very predictable, in acting categories anyway. Firth and Portman (probably quite rightly) nailed on winners. be interesting to see if Social Network repeats globes success, i thought it was great, forget all the facebook stuff and the gags, its basically a film about a friendship falling apart, which i found really sad. Black Swan is the film that blew me away though, even though its a mix of lots of different films – Carrie, The Fly – ive never really seen anything like it.
Agreed on The Social Network, a Shakespearean tragedy is the best comparison I have heard. As mentioned above I have now seen Black Swan. Interestingly the movie it reminds me of most is the other great ballet movie, The Red Shoes they both have a story that echoes the ballet they are about.
Paul Giamatti was owed that for losing out with “Sideways.”
I was not happy “The Social Network” took Best Drama. It’s well done and well acted, but it’s not the best film of 2010. I can’t be convinced it is better than “Winter’s Bone.” I just can’t.
Agreed, Winter’s Bone is a better film than The Social Network as seen in my top ten of the year list.
