“The King’s Speech” took home best picture and three other trophies last night at the 83rd Academy Awards. Meanwhile, “Inception” also won four awards, mostly in technical categories. Other memorable moments included an exasperated Melissa Leo dropping the “f-word” while accepting her Oscar for best supporting actress, and co-host James Franco appearing on stage in a dress.
