2011 Oscar Award Winners

This was the first year that I actually watched some of the Oscars as well as watching the pre-show, also known as the red carpet event.  Now we know over here at BSCkids we might not have seen too many of these nominees, but The Social Network and Toy Story 3 were on our watch list of the past year.  The Fighter has also jumped onto my must watch list with the amount of awards that the film took home last night and I still have not seen Inception which it seems also must be watched as well.

In case you were not able to see the Oscar Award Show you can at least see the winners below. I wish I had taken the time to watch all of the Best Short Film, Animated pieces.
