The 2012 Oscar winners

0

Many of you probably didn’t stay up last night to catch the Oscars. If you didn’t you missed a pretty middle of the road show. Billy Crystal was Billy Crystal, though he did seem to be attempting to be a bit edgy and there were some funny parts, but mostly just a bunch of bad one-liners like most years. Evidently, JLo had a nip slip, but I missed it.

Anyway, awards were given out as well. Below you’ll find them all listed in some random order. Of note is The Artist taking Best Picture, which isn’t much of a surprise, and is well deserved. It also snagged Best Director, and, in a bit of an upset, Best Actor. Other surprises were Meryl Streep taking home her third Oscar for The Iron Lady, and Hugo winning almost every sound and editing award out there. Big losers for the night were Moneyball and War Horse, both of which took home nothing.

Let us know what you think of what won last night.
