Oscar Overview

It was a night for upsets and sweeps.
No Country for Old Men won 4 awards including Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Directors and supporting actor

Alot of people guessed it but I didn't see Marion Cotilard winning for La Vie En Rose and I counted out Tilda Swinton for Michael Clayton but now they can call themselves Academy award winners. Now I can't wait to see those movies!

I am very glad Diablo Cody won for her screenplay for Juno!
Shocks mostly came from technical categories with Bourne Ultimatum taking 3 and Golden Compass pulling an upset from the top 2 (out of 3) Favorites for special effects.

The Academy once again chose a very elaborate and period costume driven movie (Elisabeth the Golden Age) for that amazing suit of armor Cate Blanchett wore.

One time winners include Sweeney Todd for art direction, and original score for Atonement it's only award out of seven nominations.

Congrats to Oscar winners we hope to see more of you!
