Another Academy Awards came and went…Hugo cleaned house, and The Artist won best picture…not shocking at all! And I’m pleased to write that Meryl Streep won her third Oscar (she’s been nominated a total of 17 times!!!), and that Octavia Spencer won for The Help. As for Billy Crystal, he was the safe bet as host. He did a fine job–it wasn’t groundbreaking, but at least we knew what to expect. He did a hell of a lot better than James Franco and Anne Hathaway last year…I’ll stop here…

Oh, and btw, what was up with the weird audio feedback?

Here’s a list of the 84th annual Academy Award winners:

1. Best Picture: “The Artist.”

2. Actor: Jean Dujardin, “The Artist.”

3. Actress: Meryl Streep, “The Iron Lady.”

4. Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, “Beginners.”

5. Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, “The Help.”

6. Directing: Michel Hazanavicius, “The Artist.”

7. Foreign Language Film: “A Separation,” Iran.

8. Adapted Screenplay: Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, “The Descendants.”

9. Original Screenplay: Woody Allen, “Midnight in Paris.”

10. Animated Feature Film: “Rango.”

11. Art Direction: “Hugo.”

12. Cinematography: “Hugo.”

13. Sound Mixing: “Hugo.”

14. Sound Editing: “Hugo.”

15. Original Score: “The Artist.”

16. Original Song: “Man or Muppet” from “The Muppets.”

17. Costume Design: “The Artist.”

18. Documentary Feature: “Undefeated.”

19. Documentary Short: “Saving Face.”

And as a follow up to The Dictator drama, here’s Sacha on the red carpet pouring ashes all over Ryan Seacrest…ha!:

    I’m glad Viola Davis didn’t win Best Actress for The Help. I’m tired of people creaming their pants over her.

    He defaced Ryan Seacrest. For that, I’m sending Mr Cohen a deluxe fruit basket.

    My favorite moment was when Jim Rash mimicked Angie’s leg pose. And seeing Seacrest’s impotent hissy fit was great.

    I thought Billy Crystal’s joke about wanting to hug a Black woman after watching The Help but there aren’t any within 42 miles of Beverly Hills was rather tasteless.

    The Artist wasn’t that great and Iron Lady was boooooorrring.

    Honestly I read the book and enjoyed it but I found the movie so boring so I wasn’t too upset The Help didn’t clean house.

    I was giddy with excitement to see Bret win for the muppets song being a big Flight of the Conchords fan!

    If you each chip in $10 dollars we can get him the standard apples/pears/oranges trio. If you each chip in $20 dollars, we can send him the Tropical Explosion Cornucopia. (The fruit basket people will even spray the cornucopia with insecticide so fruit flies won’t raise families in there during shipping.)

    I’m in for $20 on the Cohen fruit basket, NWMTV! Thank you for this, Nads! I really wanted to know the winners but I didn’t want any media news(/hype/assery) beyond my ‘Gasm.

    I’m with Cath all the way. Except, hold the spray. I’m all in for the Tropical Extravaganza, but I think that Sacha would appreciate the fruit fly irony. How about a seafood basket–with crabs?

    I love that this man got to go there and act a fool the way that he wanted to. He’s not getting a fruit basket out of me though.

    I’m also lightweight sad that Transformers didn’t win for visual effects, but pleased with the best actress and supporting actress picks.
    Besides that, I care not what happened at that there boring ass, stuffy ass ceremony.

    Does anybody out there really enjoy the song and dance numbers they pad the Academy Awards with? I’m not judging (much), I just want to know if anybody really wants them there, or if they’re just making the show interminably long and they’re there because it’s tradition. I haven’t tried to watch one of these since 1992, and because I wasn’t drunker than Sean Young, I couldn’t get through all 52 hrs. and 29 min. just to find out who won the only five awards anyone cares about. (I’m sorry, sound editors, that’s just the way it is.)

    They have to put the musical numbers in so that Debbie Allen still has something to do once a year. Fame reruns don’t pay the rent.

    I will share my favorite tweet from last night, because it summed up the ceremony to a T: (from a fake Newt Gingrich acct.) “Move to Hollywood where my unearned sense of self-satisfaction isn’t as noticeable.”

    Indeed, fake Newt Gingrich.
