Billy Crystal hosts his 9th Oscar, Meryl Streep wins her 3rd Oscar, Hugo and the Artist takes home five Oscars. The 84th Academy Awards was entertaining for sure, Billy Crystal had jokes that cracked everyone up including a skit where he told the audience what the celebrities were thinking and in another skit he shared a kiss with George Clooney. Crystal made the three hour show feel like an hour, he did am amazing job hosting I wish that he would do it every year.
Hugo and the Artist were the bigger winners of the night, taking home five awards. Hugo took three awards in a row at one point, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Affects. They also took home the awards for Art Direction and Cinematography. The Artist walked away with Costume Design, Directing, and Music (Original Score). The Artist took home two of the biggest awards of the night, Best Picture and Jean Dujardin took home Actor In a Leading Role, out beating George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
In the supporting roles, Christopher Plummer won his first Oscar for his role in the Beginners; this was also his first Academy Award Nomination. Much like Plummer Octavia Spencer took home her first Oscar and it was her first nomination as well, Spencer was a favorite for the award but it was a close race with Melissa McCarthy right behind her; either one could have won.
Meryl Streep holds the record for the most Oscar nominations ever; she has 17 nominations under her belt. Last night Meryl picked up her 3rd Oscar which now makes her one of four actors to ever pick up three Oscars. Meryl picked up the award for her amazing work in The Iron Lady and for her portal of British Icon and Prime Minister Margret Thatcher. Even though Meryl picked up the Golden Globe for the same category, Viola Davis was the favorite for her work in the Help.
