So the Oscar just ended a few moments ago but the list of winners looks pretty much pre-indicated down in line with the recent expectation. Billy Crystal hosted this year's Academy Awards show for a record ninth time, the first since 2004. The night's biggest winner is definitely The Artist which bags a total of awards in major categories. Hugo also achieved plenty of wins, though it all falls under the technical awards. No love for Scorsese again?
