The two fell out while working on the UK talent show, and their dispute prompted Osbourne to quit her role as a judge in 2007. Osbourne insists she has moved past the feud. ‘‘It’s fair enough to say we didn’t get on for a long time. But that’s all in the past,’’ she said. Oscar is a career king-maker ‘‘I have a feeling my career has just peaked.’’ — Colin Firth, who won the award for Best Actor at the 83rd annual Academy Awards for his role in The King’s Speech Gaga gagged by S&M SYDNEY: The fanfare surrounding Lady Gaga’s new single appears to have died down, with Born This Way slipping to number two after just a week at the top of the charts. S&M, the controversial single from Rihanna, reclaimed the throne this week and boosted sales of her new album, Loud. The singer’s album beat Pink’s hottest hits, slipping into number two. Oz gold shines at Oscars By PETER MITCHELL Shaun Tan HOLLYWOOD: The King’s Speech reigned at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, and so did plenty of Aussies on a record-breaking, golden night for Australian film. Australians collected five Oscars — eclipsing the pre- vious record of three in 1996 when Mel Gibson’s film Braveheart dominated and in 2002 when Moulin Rouge’s Catherine Martin led the Australian charge with two of the night’s three awards. The ceremony, held in the Kodak Theatre, began on a sad note when Jacki Weaver’s un- likely journey to the Academy Awards ended without an Oscar. The 63-year-old, nominated for her startling role in the Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom, was trum- ped in the supporting actress category by favourite, New Yorker Melissa Leo. Moments later, Fremantle- born, Melbourne resident Shaun Tan claimed the first Australian Oscar of the night in a major upset in the short animated film category. Tan’s 15 minute computer- generated and handpainted movie, The Lost Thing, was up against Night & Day,a film created by the giant of the animation industry, Pixar, whose credits include this year’s best animated fea- ture winner, Toy Story 3. Next up was make-up supremo Dave Elsey, a Brit who moved to Sydney 12 years ago to work on the TV sci-fi series Farscape and de- cided to call the city home. Elsey joined forces on the horror film, The Wolfman, with one of the most prolific Oscar winners in history, American Rick Baker, in a match proving fruitful for both. They beat the make-up teams for Barney’s Vision and The Way Back. Australian visual effects nominees Joe Farrell (Here- after) and Ben Snow (Iron Man 2) did not share in the gold rush, however Kirk Baxter, the Sydney editor on the Facebook film, The Social Network, claimed the Oscar. The King’s Speech director, dual Australian and British citizen Tom Hooper, was then announced the winner of the director’s category. Hooper made special men- tion in his acceptance speech of his Adelaide-born mother, Meredith, who was respon- sible for first alerting her son to the film’s potential. The King’s Speech, starring British actor Colin Firth as the stuttering King George VI and Geoffrey Rush as Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue, then went on to dominate the major awards. Firth won best actor, and the Sydney producer of the historical drama, Emile Sherman, was presented with an Oscar when the film took out the top award of the night, best picture. Rush missed out on the second Oscar of his career when The Fighter’s Christian Bale collected the Oscar for best supporting actor. Nicole Kidman, nominated for her performance in Rab- bit Hole, joined fellow actors Weaver and Rush in failing to win an Oscar when Natalie Portman was named best actress for Black Swan. Sharon top show-stopper LONDON: Sharon Stone’s infamous leg- crossing scene in Basic Instinct has been named the most-paused mo- ment in movies. The scene –– where she is apparently not wearing underwear –– caused a sensation in 1992. It topped the poll of must-see moments for the movie subscription service Lovefilm. Red carpet beauties and beasts Fashionistas fawn over Bullock, give Stone (likened to ‘‘Cruella de Vil’’) the flick, and feel conflicted over Blanchett SYDNEY: The hours spent tap- ing, crimping, curling, squeez- ing into tiny items, plucking and painting faces climaxed in a fashion frenzy on the red car- pet at the Oscars yesterday. The traditional dress dissec- tion leaves some stars looking a million bucks, while others slink shamefully into shadows. The best dressed include: ■ Sandra Bullock was a show- stopper in a beautifully sculpt- ed Vera Wang gown, cinched at the waist, and with a daringly constructed bustline. ■ Hilary Swank’s shimmering Gucci silver gown included a cascade of soft feathers. ■ Natalie Portman was radiant in a plunging Rodarte gown sweeping over her baby bump. ■ Halle Berry’s figure-hugging silver Marchesa gown with champagne tulle applique cre- ated an elegant look. ■ Helen Mirren’s Vivien West- wood gown with a jewelled buc- kle at the back accentuated her hourglass curves. ■ Mila Kunis’s lace Elie Saab gown was romantic. The worst dressed include: ■ Sharon Stone’s black gown with flouncy detail at one shoulder, coupled with sky- high hair and dark make-up gave her a Cruella de Vil look. ■ Florence Welch’s ruffled gown looked like it was pulled from a 1970s costume shop. ■ Scarlett Johansson’s Dolce and Gabbana high-necked plum lace gown did nothing for her amazing body. The verdict for Aussies: ■ Nicole Kidman’s sculpted Dior Haute Couture gown was described by one fashion critic as an ‘‘ugly tablecloth’’. ■ Some hailed Cate Blanchett for her Givenchy gown, others were less complimentary about the cluster of beading on the bodice. One critic wrote, ‘‘While her hair and make-up are flawless, what is up with the porthole on her chest?’’ ■ Jacki Weaver’s Collette Din- nigan gown with heavily jew- elled bodice would have looked much better with a slim-line skirt, rather than the flouncy organza that swam around her.
