Up took Best Film over frontrunners The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds and Up in the Air, as well as my favorite film of the year (500) Days of Summer. Also Peter Docter took the Best Director over frontrunner Kathryn Bigelow. While I don’t think this will secure Docter a nomination at the Oscars, it does give Up an edge over Fantastic Mr. Fox for Animated Feature.

Also, this marks Colin Firth’s 4th award for his performance in A Single Man, giving him a slight lead over fellow frontrunners George Clooney and Jeff Bridges.

The Best Actor and Best Animated Film remain the most interesting and hard to call races of the season.
