As expected, THE ARTIST emerged as a well-deserved winner here!

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN DIRECTING

WINNER

Michel Hazanavicius (THE ARTIST)

NOMINEES:

Woody Allen (MIDNIGHT IN PARIS)

Terrence Malick (THE TREE OF LIFE)

Alexander Payne (THE DESCENDANTS)

Martin Scorcese (HUGO)

It's Michel Hazanavicius vs. Alexander Payne! I'm happy to know that Hazanavicius grabbed a well-deserved win here.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE

WINNER

Jean Dujardin (THE ARTIST)

NOMINEES:

Demian Bichir (A BETTER LIFE)

George Clooney (THE DESCENDANTS)

Gary Oldman (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY)

Brad Pitt (MONEYBALL)

It's Jean Dujardin vs. George Clooney. But the Academy made the right choice to award Jean Dujardin for his charming performance as George Valentin in THE ARTIST, which also made him the first Frenchman to win the coveted Oscar for Best Actor!

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE

WINNER

Meryl Streep (THE IRON LADY)

NOMINEES:

Glenn Close (ALBERT NOBBS)

Rooney Mara (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO)

Viola Davis (THE HELP)

Michelle Williams (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN)

This category is narrowed down between Viola Davis or Meryl Streep for the win. Many might have rooted for Viola Davis to nab the Oscar here, especially given her recent winning streak in other awards. But Meryl Streep has finally broke the jinx after being nominated for a record 12th time since 1983's SILKWOOD, with her spot-on performance as Margaret Thatcher in THE IRON LADY.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

WINNER

Christopher Plummer (BEGINNERS)

NOMINEES:

Kenneth Branagh (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN)

Jonah Hill (MONEYBALL)

Nick Nolte (WARRIOR)

Max von Sydow (EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE)

Another shoo-in win. Enough said.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

WINNER

Octavia Spencer (THE HELP)

NOMINEES:

Berenice Bejo (THE ARTIST)

Jessica Chastain (THE HELP)

Melissa McCarthy (BRIDESMAIDS)

Janet McTeer (ALBERT NOBBS)

No surprise here. Octavia Spencer is a shoo-in win for this category.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM OF THE YEAR

WINNER

RANGO

NOMINEES:

A CAT IN PARIS

CHICO & RITA

KUNG FU PANDA 2

PUSS IN BOOTS

A shoo-in win. Gore Verbinski's loving tribute to the classic western is an inventive and colorful animated feature is worthy of an award here.

BEST WRITING, SCREENPLAY WRITTEN DIRECTLY FOR THE SCREEN

WINNER

Woody Allen (MIDNIGHT IN PARIS)

NOMINEES:

Michel Hazanavicius (THE ARTIST)

Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo (BRIDESMAIDS)

J.C. Chandor (MARGIN CALL)

Woody Allen (MIDNIGHT IN PARIS)

Asghar Farhadi (A SEPARATION)

Another undeserved win. While many have hailed MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is Allen's finest movie he's ever made in years, I beg to differ. (read: overrated). Personally Michel Hazanavicus or Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo should bag the win instead.

BEST WRITING, SCREENPLAY BASED ON MATERIAL PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED OR PUBLISHED

WINNER

Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, Jim Rash (THE DESCENDANTS)

NOMINEES:

John Logan (HUGO)

George Clooney, Grant Heslov, Beau Willimon (THE IDES OF MARCH)

Steven Zaillian, Aaron Sorkin, Stan Chervin (MONEYBALL)

Bridget O'Connor, Peter Straughan (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY)

THE DESCENDANTS is a hugely overrated movie with sadly average plot. Of all the nominees in this category here, I think Steven Zaillian, Aaron Sorkin, and Stan Chervin should win this instead for crafting a unpopular subject matter into something intriguing in MONEYBALL.

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN EDITING

WINNER

Angus Wall, Kirk Baxter (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO)

NOMINEES:

Anne-Sophie Bion, Michel Hazanavicius (THE ARTIST)

Kevin Tent (THE DESCENDANTS)

WINNER

Robert Richardson (HUGO)

NOMINEES:

Guillaume Schiffman (THE ARTIST)

Jeff Cronenworth (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO)

Emmanuel Lubezki (THE TREE OF LIFE)

Janusz Kaminski (WAR HORSE)

Robert Richardson won Best Cinematography for HUGO? As good as he is, I still figured either Jeff Cronenworth or Emmanuel Lubezki deserved a better win here.

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN ART DIRECTION

NOMINEES:

Laurence Bennett, Robert Gould (THE ARTIST)

Stuart Craig, Stephenie McMillan (HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2)

NOMINEES:

Lisy Christl (ANONYMOUS)

Sandy Powell (HUGO)

Michael O'Connor (JANE EYRE)

Arianne Phillips (W.E.)

Mark Bridge's splendid recreation of the 1920s glamorous fashion in THE ARTIST is a well-deserved win here.

NOMINEES:

Tim Burke, David Vickery, Greg Butler, John Richardson (HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2)

Joe Letteri, Dan Lemmon, R. Christopher White, Daniel Barrett (RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES)

Scott Farrar, Scott Benza, Matthew E. Butler, John Frazier (TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON)

This is really a surprise. I was expecting RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES would be a shoo-in win for this category. But HUGO? Seriously?

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN MAKEUP

WINNER

Mark Coulier, J. Roy Helland (THE IRON LADY)

NOMINEES:

Martial Corneville, Lynn Johnson, Matthew W. Mungle (ALBERT NOBBS)

Nick Dudman, Amanda Knight, Lisa Tomblin (HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2)

Mark Coulier and J. Roy Helland's excellent makeup effect over Meryl Streep's character as Margaret Thatcher is spot-on convincing. A well-deserved win.

Currently THE VIRAL FACTOR is doing well in the box-office, and a sequel plan is already in talks. But there's a speculating rumor that one of the main stars, Jay Chou, will be dropped from the cast list of THE VIRAL FACTOR sequel.

Apparently he is said to be lacking in martial-arts training and underperformed with lots of NG (no good) takes. Not only that, he made demanding requests on-set and worried a lot about his wig. He also requested the director (Dante Lam) to make him "look good" during the non-action scenes, while insisting on using stunt double for ferocious fighting scenes.

Investors are looking forward to bring in Donnie Yen or Andy Lau to replace Jay Chou in the sequel to boost box-office sales.

Despite all the rumors surrounding Jay Chou's highly-demanding attitude and the sequel plan for THE VIRAL FACTOR, Jay's recording company JVR Music claimed that they have not heard of plans for making a sequel, and added that Jay once said that he will be filming any action movies in the coming future.

Vikram Bhatt sure has a lot on his plate – his new TV show, his directorial venture Dangerous Ishq starring Karisma Kapoor and now his latest production, Hate Story. He recently unveiled the first look of this film, directed by Vivek Agnihotri. Hate Story will hopefully give Nikhil Dwivedi a second lease of life in Bollywood, if he doesn't end up being overshadowed by his leading lady.

Buzz is that the naked back in the poster belongs to Paoli Dam. The Bengali actor is known for being one of the boldest actors of the Bengal film industry and has even starred in the very controversial Chattrak. Paoli is known for shedding all her clothes for Choli Ke Peeche, a film that both Nandana Sen and Shahana Goswami refused because of the high nudity content. Her hot scenes in Chattrak so shocked the Bengali filmmakers that Pritam Sarkar, who had directed her other film Flop-e, refused to include her in its promotional activities, alleging that her presence would harm his film.

Looks like the Bhatts have found a new Mallika Sherawat. There's been no official confirmation yet but whether it is Paoli Dam or not, we wonder if she will be as successful in Bollywood as Mallika was.

One of the most talked about and happening heroines of the Telugu circuit is the doe eyed beauty Amala Paul. Though her debut movie 'Bejawada' was a dud Amala made her presence felt with her performance and naturally beautiful looks. Now, she scored the success with 'Love Failure'.

While she is relishing the compliments, Amala was sharing her thoughts recently when she revealed a secret desire. It is heard that Amala is an amazing dancer and she has been waiting for a chance to come up with some mind blowing dance moves onscreen. It is heard that dance is Amala's true passion.

If one can recall, even the senior Amala, wife of Nagarjuna, was known for her dance. What remains to be seen is who will come forward to utilize Amala's dance skills and not focus only on her natural sex appeal and magical eyes. For now, Amala is yet to sign a Telugu film and she has two Malayalam projects happening.
