Am I the only one who found it funny on how Helena Bonham Carter starred in 3 films of those nominated in this catergory? She appears in Alice in Wonderland as the Red Queen. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 she's Bellatrix Lestrange and in The King's Speech, she plays Queen Elizabeth. So whichever movie got the award, either way she would've been so happy.

Did Tim Burton win an Oscar ? Because he really need it Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter too I'm a big fan of them (sorry for my English)

Alice in Wonderland has great art direction.

:D What a great year for the Art Direction!!! I love that Alice and Wonderland won <3. That would have been my pick!!

Tim Burton is so UNDERRATED. Everywhere, top 10, those director x director interviews, round tables, Oscars, the man's Vision is out of this world but nobody mentions him in film history.

Alice in Wonderland is the fourth film Tim Burton directed that won Best Art Direction.

Alice in Wonderland - 2 Oscars
The Shawshank Redemption - 0 Oscars

This comes as a surprise, since Robert Stromberg had won the previous year in this category for co-designing Avatar!

Am I the only one in a good way who was surprised that Alice in Wonderland took home two Oscars that night? I wanted Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 to win this category too. Other than that, Alice in Wonderland was just as good as the classic 1951 animated original adapted by Walt Disney himself. Who's excited for Alice Through the Looking Glass on Memorial Day Weekend?

Tim Burton doesn't look very happy HIS movie won.

[lovesweetness]

I'm sad that Harry Potter didn't won...

[wolfgangamadeusmozart]

Tim Burton needs a Best Director Oscar

[rodrigomelo]

Harry Potter and the Deathlly Hallows Part 1 should have won, tied with True Grit.

[klausweasley]

The production design was great but the movie

[Brandon_M]

I really hate how Stuart Craig is snubbed each year.

[diegopisfil]

Never Let Me Go and Shutter Island should have been nominated instead of The King's Speech and True Grit

[Korusakikingsukuna]

a lot of money & two Oscars, just admit that your the only one who hated it & don't make it sound like your opinion speaks for all people, if it was so bad like you say it wouldnt have made that much money..NUFF SAID!!!!

[diegopisfil]

Inception was ROBBED, has awarded the BAFTA, Critics Choice and ADG and losing the Oscars, it's one of the most conflicting winners of the year

[grievous]

Inception or True Grit should have won.
