Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan Pictures: Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan arrive on the red carpet at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theatre on February 26, 2011 in Hollywood, California.
"The King's Speech" was crowned best picture Sunday at an Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation, the monarchy drama leading as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claiming acting honors. Colin Firth as stammering British ruler George VI in "The King's Speech" earned the best-actor prize, while Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in "Black Swan." The boxing drama "The Fighter" claimed both supporting-acting Oscars, for Christian Bale as a boxer-turned-drug-abuser and Melissa Leo as a boxing clan's domineering matriarch.
