Oscars Wrap-Up

Did you watch the Oscars tonight?  I did.  It was actually a really great show, starting off with Hugh Jackman as host.  Fierce, right?  Anyhow, there were a few surprises: Penelope Cruz winning Best Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Best Actor recipient Sean Penn for his portrayal of Harvey Milk.  Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture, obviously.

For a complete list of the winners and nominees, click here.

The highlights of the evening are below.



Beyonce, Hugh Jackman, Zack Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Amanda Seyfried, and Dominic Cooper pay tribute to the great movie musical numnbers.  My favorite part is when Beyonce is singing "I Don't Know How To Love Him" over "You Can't Stop The Beat."  Genius.



For each of the Best Actor/Actress awards, they had five previous winners announce the nominees.  I loved it.  Here's Kate Winslet winning Best Actress.  Amazing.



Finally, there's the best speech of the night.  Dustin Lance Black won for Best Original Screenplay for his beautiful work called Milk.  What an incredible speech!  And what a super cute guy...
