Natalie Portman, Best Actress Oscar Winner

A very pregnant Natalie Portman took the Oscar stage last night to accept the Best Actress award for her performance in “Black Swan.”

Many hoped the pretty actress would take home the statue after she wowed audiences as a prima ballerina whose world is turned upside down in the psychological thriller.

Portman had to spend six months toning her body and undergoing extreme dance training for the role, and apparently it paid off.

Portman’s speech was graceful and grateful, though certainly less memorable than Melissa Leo’s shocking speech. She took the unusual step of thanking the people who “don’t often get thanked” in movies, like her hair and makeup artists or the cameramen on the set of “Black Swan.”

Though many critics griped about other Oscar wins that night, critics largely accepted or were pleased to see Portman take home the Best Actress award, even if they preferred another nominee.
