I am a very big fan of Trent Reznor and I am very happy to see him recognized here. He is extremely talented and I thought his work on The Social Network was fantastic. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > WTF is with the nominees for Best Comedy/Musical? Red, The Tourist, Alice in Wonderland and _Burlesque_!? Just give the award to The Kids Are Alright already > > How is \*Alice \*a comedy? I know. It’s known as Category Fraud. [City Island](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174730/) should have been nominated. What a dream for Hailee. The HFPA didn’t get a chance to screen **True Grit** until after the nominations. That’s the only way I can figure why it was shut out of the nominations. **BEST ANIMATED FILM** [Despicable Me](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1323594/combined) [How to Train Your Dragon](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892769/combined) [The Illusionist](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0775489/combined) [Tangled](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398286/combined) Winner: [Toy Story 3](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435761/combined) ---

Once again, Downey Jr is just awesome up on stage. Funny, dirty/corny. Ricky is being pretty mean tonight. I love his standup, kills me, and I have been laughing but it’s been like guilty laughing, especially at the ‘Betty Ford’ Downey type jokes. They’re true but still mean. ---

I believe Tilda Swinton has the most… remarkable… presenter’s delivery I think I’ve ever heard! ---

Good for Claire Danes winning for **Temple Grandin**. I haven’t seen it but I love Temple’s story. I wish it had been released in the theaters. ---

> [@Carol\_the\_Impaler](#): > > I don’t get it. Didn’t she win for the same thing last year? At the Emmys. It gets so confusing sometimes. 😉 I’m loving Ricky, but I’m not getting into the show too terribly much for whatever reason. It’s usually one of my favorite because of both tv and movies. ---

Liked Aaron Sorkin’s ‘smart girls have more fun’ line to his daughter. I think he seems like he’d be a bit of an ass IRL but he really is a good writer… ---

Wasn’t the score to the Social Network just someone slowly hitting random keys on a piano one at a time? Not sure how that won an award. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > That came across as condescending to me, for some reason. I _think_ he was saying all the women in the audience were not just beautiful but talented and smart, and it takes more than just the pretty to get here, so being smart is cool? That’s how I took it, so that’s why I liked it. But it’s quite possible I was being too positive and he was being an ass. And **Simplico** …no. At least I don’t think so. If you are either unfamiliar or not a fan of Trent’s music beforehand it may have seemed that way maybe? I thought it sounded awesome. ---
