Oscars 2012: The Artist Wins 5 Including Best Picture, Hugo Wins 5 Too!
The Oscars! Last night was the 84th annual Academy Awards — here’s the complete list!
On a side note, very disappointing that given all the political upheaval, unrest, and killings around the world, not to mention the very political climate here at home, that no artist, save the winner of Best Foreign Language Film, made any attempt to make a political statement. It was an extremely inward looking evening.
