2012 Oscar Winners

Like most years, the 84th Academy Awards went largely without any major surprises. The only real upset being Meryl Streep for Best Actress over the favored Viola Davis, but this wasn't truly that big of a surprise. I love that Jim Rash (aka Dean Pelton from "Community") and Bret Mackenzie of Flight of the Conchords won Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original song respectively. The big winners of the night, as expected, were The Artist and Hugo. The Artist won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture, Actor, and Director, and Hugo also took away 5 awards, mostly for technical achievements.
