9.04am

The cheering at the end of The King's Speech was an equal mix of appreciation and relief, and awoke some of those softly snoring. Now eyes that have grown used to the dark are slowly getting reaccustomed to sunlight.

The Best Pictures' overriding theme this year was dismemberment. 127 Hours, True Grit and Winter's Bone all involved arms being cut off, and The Fighter had some heavy hand abuse too. We'll see which way the Oscar jury goes tonight (on one hand, on the other...ho ho!)

I can tell you that, from my semi-concious 2am state, Inception is definitely a dream from start to finish. Also, Colin Firth is the best actor in the world, and ten films in the Best Picture category is probably a few too many. Oh, and I'm far too old to stay up all night.

Until next year: survivor's photo.
