Feedback of the 83rd Academy Awards

The 83rd Academy Awards turned out to be quite a dull event. The audiences were not entertained and they did not enjoy as much as they did in the past years, according to a Hollywood Reporter.

In comparison to last year, the Oscar ceremony witnessed a fall of 10%. In the beginning of this year other prestigious award ceremonies such as the Grammys, the Golden Globes and others countered high ratings while Oscars just managed to make 37.6 million total viewers.

Audiences often criticized the poor presentation of young hosts James Franco as well as Anne Hathaway. The 3 hour plus event delivered a rating of 11.7 with a 11% drop in the advertiser-friendly category.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, upto now this was the worst Oscar telecast as James Franco was too detached and Hathaway as overeager.

This year, unfortunately the award winners were not new. Most of the winners had won awards in the equivalent categories in other award ceremonies earlier this year.

Anne Hathaway’s Experience of Co-hosting The Oscars

Anne Hathaway stated that hosting the 83rd Annual Academy Awards 2011 with actor James Franco lately night was sheer joy from the beginning till the end.

Actress Anne Hathaway's performance at Oscar awards 2011 might have annoyed critics. However The "Love and Other Drugs" star did not seem to be least bothered about those comments.

It was reported that Anne Hathaway had misplaced her invitation and could not find her ticket at the time of the entry to the Oscars.So she was reportedly denied her entry at the Oscar’s Governors ball . Eventually, the security guard had to show the 'resolution desk', where she had to clarify about herself and enter.

Christian Bale Wins Best Supporting Actor for "The Fighter" for Oscars 2011

Christian Bale won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "The Fighter" and it's his first Academy Award.The film is directed by David O. Russell.

The movie also stars Mark Wahlberg,Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. The movie centers on boxer "Irish" Micky Ward (Wahlberg) as well as his crack-addicted older half-brother Dicky Eklund (Bale). Amy Adams co-stars as Ward's tough-as-nails girlfriend and Mellisa Leo stars as Ward's and Eklund's scrappy mother.

"The Fighter" was nominated for 7 Oscars along with Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress (for both Adams and Leo).Lately in January, Bale won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.

When Brad Pitt and Matt Damon stepped out of "The Fighter" due to conflicts in scheduling, Wahlberg suggested Bale for the role. And the role brought out great results for the actor. Just as he did in 2003's "The Machinist," Christian Bale lost an unbelievable amount of weight in order to bear a resemblance to Eklund, who, at the time, was addicted to drugs.

At the age of 13, Bale was cast in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" as an English boy who is separated from his parents during World War II and is lost in a Japanese internment camp.From then on, he's received critical acclaim for several performances including portraying Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan's Batman films and as the yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman in "American Psycho."
