Well, I wanted Avatar to win pretty much everything. However, I have yet to actually see The Hurt Locker and Ben Stiller presented for best make-up dressed as a Na'vi, so I will try and mask my disappointment.

Here are the BIG WINS:

Best Picture:

The Hurt Locker

Best Actress:

Sandra Bullock

Best Actor:

Jeff Bridges

Best Director:

Katheryn Bigelow

Best Supporting Actress:

Mo'nique

Best Supporting Actor:

Christoph Waltz

Unfortunately, since I have not seen The Hurt Locker (and thus, cannot properly quip about it), this will be a short post, but here it is: Favorite Oscar Moments.

1). Jeff Bridge's acceptance speech. I did not realize it was possible to say "man" that many times while wearing a tux.

2). Sandra Bullock's acceptance speech. She managed to combine hilarity, grace and liberal political correctness, all in a few short minutes. Not only did she reference her ongoing battle/love affair with Meryl Streep (started earlier in the year as each woman was nominated again and again for Best Actress this awards season), but she also individually acknowledged her fellow nominees, thanked her mom/all the moms out there and made a subtle plug for equality for everyone (in spite of race, sexual orientation, etc.). What a classy lady.

3). Kathryn Bigelow's win. Even though she stole attention from Avatar, I obviously have to support my feminist beliefs, and just be excited that after 82 years a woman finally won an Oscar for Best Director. Congrats/Go woman power!
