Not a lot of shocks at this year's Oscars. As you can see below, all the movies (and actors) that were expected to walk away with the big prizes did for the most part, and despite the odd few surprises the results are far from shocking. However, despite Christopher Nolan being snubbed for 'Best Director' and Andrew Garfield shamefully not recieving a nod for 'Best Supporting Actor' in
The Social Network, it was a very good night for two comic book movie actors in particular. Both Batman himself, Christian Bale, and Thor's love interest Jane Foster, aka Natalie Portman, scooped two big awards! Here are the results in full.
