Osbourne insistsshe hasmoved past the feud. ‘‘It’s fairenough to saywe didn’t get on for a longtime. But that’s all in the past,’’ she said.

Oz gold shines at OscarsBy PETER MITCHELL
Shaun Tan
HOLLYWOOD: The King’sSpeech reigned at the 83rdAnnual Academy Awards,and so did plenty of Aussieson a record-breaking, goldennight for Australian film.
Australians collected fiveOscars — eclipsing the pre-vious record of three in 1996when Mel Gibson’s filmBraveheart dominated and in2002 when Moulin Rouge’sCatherine Martin led theAustralian charge with twoof the night’s three awards.The ceremony, held in the
Kodak Theatre,began on a sadnote when JackiWeaver’s un-likely journey tothe AcademyAwards ended
without an Oscar.The 63-year-old, nominated
for her startling role in theAustralian crime dramaAnimal Kingdom, was trum-ped in the supporting actresscategory by favourite, NewYorker Melissa Leo.
Moments later, Fremantle-born, Melbourne residentShaun Tan claimed the first
Australian Oscar of the nightin a major upset in the shortanimated film category.Tan’s 15 minute computer-generated and handpaintedmovie, The Lost Thing, wasup against Night & Day, afilm created by the giant ofthe animation industry,Pixar, whose credits includethis year’s best animated fea-ture winner, Toy Story 3.
Next up was make-upsupremo Dave Elsey, a Britwho moved to Sydney 12years ago to work on the TVsci-fi series Farscape and de-cided to call the city home.
Elsey joined forces on thehorror film, The Wolfman,with one of the most prolificOscar winners in history,American Rick Baker, in amatch proving fruitful forboth. They beat the make-upteams for Barney’s Visionand The Way Back.
Australian visual effectsnominees Joe Farrell (Here-after) and Ben Snow (IronMan 2) did not share in thegold rush, however KirkBaxter, the Sydney editor onthe Facebook film, The SocialNetwork, claimed the Oscar.
The King’s Speech director,
dual Australian and Britishcitizen Tom Hooper, wasthen announced the winnerof the director’s category.Hooper made special men-tion in his acceptance speechof his Adelaide-born mother,Meredith, who was respon-sible for first alerting her sonto the film’s potential.
The King’s Speech, starringBritish actor Colin Firth asthe stuttering King GeorgeVI and Geoffrey Rush asAustralian speech therapistLionel Logue, then went onto dominate the majorawards. Firth won best actor,
and the Sydney producer ofthe historical drama, EmileSherman, was presentedwith an Oscar when the filmtook out the top award of thenight, best picture.
Rush missed out on thesecond Oscar of his careerwhen The Fighter’s ChristianBale collected the Oscar forbest supporting actor.
Nicole Kidman, nominatedfor her performance in Rab-bit Hole, joined fellow actorsWeaver and Rush in failingto win an Oscar when NataliePortman was named bestactress for Black Swan.
Sharon top show-stopperLONDON: SharonStone’s infamous leg-crossing scene in BasicInstinct has been namedthe most-paused mo-ment in movies.
The scene –– where
she is apparently notwearing underwear ––caused a sensation in1992. It topped the poll ofmust-see moments forthe movie subscriptionservice Lovefilm.
Red carpet beauties and beasts
Fashionistas fawn over Bullock, give Stone (likened to ‘‘Cruella de Vil’’) the flick, and feel conflicted over Blanchett
SYDNEY: The hours spent tap-ing, crimping, curling, squeez-ing into tiny items, pluckingand painting faces climaxed ina fashion frenzy on the red car-pet at the Oscars yesterday.
The traditional dress dissec-tion leaves some stars looking amillion bucks, while othersslink shamefully into shadows.
The best dressed include:n Sandra Bullock was a show-stopper in a beautifully sculpt-ed Vera Wang gown, cinched atthe waist, and with a daringlyconstructed bustline.
n Hilary Swank’s shimmeringGucci silver gown included acascade of soft feathers.n Natalie Portman was radiantin a plunging Rodarte gownsweeping over her baby bump.n Halle Berry’s figure-huggingsilver Marchesa gown withchampagne tulle applique cre-ated an elegant look.n Helen Mirren’s Vivien West-wood gown with a jewelled buc-kle at the back accentuated herhourglass curves.n Mila Kunis’s lace Elie Saabgown was romantic.
The worst dressed include:n Sharon Stone’s black gownwith flouncy detail at oneshoulder, coupled with sky-high hair and dark make-upgave her a Cruella de Vil look.n Florence Welch’s ruffledgown looked like it was pulledfrom a 1970s costume shop.n Scarlett Johansson’s Dolceand Gabbana high-neckedplum lace gown did nothing forher amazing body.
The verdict for Aussies:
n Nicole Kidman’s sculptedDior Haute Couture gown was
described by one fashion criticas an ‘‘ugly tablecloth’’.n Some hailed Cate Blanchettfor her Givenchy gown, otherswere less complimentary aboutthe cluster of beading on thebodice. One critic wrote,‘‘While her hair and make-upare flawless, what is up withthe porthole on her chest?’’n Jacki Weaver’s Collette Din-nigan gown with heavily jew-elled bodice would have lookedmuch better with a slim-lineskirt, rather than the flouncyorganza that swam around her.
