Complete List Of Oscar Winners Announced

Well guys, it’s finally here, and thankfully, it’s finally over.

The Academy Awards were Sunday night, and the winners of each respective award were shelled out, and there isn’t all that much to write home about.  ‘The Artist’ took home top honors, with names like Octavia Spencer, Jean Dujardin and Christopher Plummer continuing their run of awards season domination.

There are little to no shockers here, save for a few below the line wins, particularly the costume win for ‘The Artist’ and a makeup win for ‘The Iron Lady.’ ‘Bullhead’ lost its Best Foreign Language award to the beloved Iranian film ‘A Separation,’ which was also up for an original screenplay award, and Criterion hopefully ‘Pina’ lost as well to the wonderful little film, ‘Undefeated.’

Overall, it was a rather boring and viscerally unfunny show hosted by Billy Crystal, which itself fit a horribly uninteresting and viscerally boring little awards season that this year found itself the victim of.  If you care, here is the full list of winners:
