"It's Complicated" actors Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were pretty funny and, though some of their jokes could've seem quite insisting, they became a very entretaining factor for the evening.
The first Oscar went to......the austriac actor Christoph Waltz who had already won the Golden Globe last January, which made this a pretty obvious decision but totally well deserved for his role in Inglorious Basterds. Penelope Cruz was in charge of handing the award to him.
The best animated film...
...was obviously the moving "Up", which won the Oscar for best animated feature film of the year, recieved by both directors and writers Pete Docter and Bob Peterson (photo on the right), as well as the Oscar for best Original Score, for Michael Giacchino.
The most hilarious moment......was when Ben Stiller presented the nominations for best make-up and showed up all dressed up like a Navi from the Pandora planet and started "speaking" their language and, apparently, he said something about James Cameron. The award finally went to Star Trek, but in the mean time we all had a great laugh with Stiller's weird appearence.
Don't you forget about me...
I guess we could say the most moving moment was not only the general memorial to great personalities that passed away last year (such as David Carradine, Patrick Swayze, Natasha Richardson, Michael Jackson and most surprising, the death of young Brittany Murphy) but also the special memorial to last year's diseased John Hughes. Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick started talking about the talented teen movie director, producer and writer of the 80's and 90's decades. Soon after that, the showed us a video with mixed clips of different movies of him, such as "Some kind of wonderful" and "The breakfast club". Before we noticed, many more actors appeared on stage, such as Jon Cryer, Macaulay Culkin (yes!, you heard me) and Ally Sheedy, who's careers had also started thanks to this amazing man. Very well deserved!!
The BEST supporting actress
The winner of this award was the precious comedian Mo' Nique who pulled off an amazing dramatic performance, and who gave the most powerful speach of all, teaching us that you have to always walk your own path, ignoring those ones who tell you that you can't. The big award was handed to her by Oscar winner Robin Williams. Two thumbs up:)

Speach Interrupted
Roger Ross Williams (right), director of the last night Oscar winner documentary "Music by Prudence" got interrupted at the beggining of his speach by film partner Elinor Burkett in a very disrespectful way. But he was not the only one who got interrupted while speach time; the academy had no better idea than giving limited time for the winners to speak, so many of the awards that were received last night, and were also shared between two or three people more, couldn't have enough time to be thanked for. Oh, right. But when sir Jeff Bridges raised his statue (down on the left) we all had to listen to an 8 minute boring speach. What was that all about? By the way, congratulations, Jeff. You won after five nominations.
The big lead actors who won!
After a lot of speculation and lots of tension for Sandra Bullock, she finally knew the answer: she was the big Oscar winner (Razzie awards my ass!). Also winning on the male cathegory we've got the previously mentioned Jeff Bridges.
The biggest honor for Argentina, my hometown!
Just when we all thought it was hopeless (cause, seriously, we had tough competion this year: La teta asustada from Peru, Un Prophete from France, Das weisse Band - Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte from Germany and Ajami from Israel) Pedro Almodovar announced El Secreto de sus Ojos with Quentin Tarantino (O.M.G!!!!!!!) as the winner for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. Me and my sisters yelled like crazy, and Juan Jose Campanella (the man, hehe) received the award and also got "speach interrupted" like many other winners. He still had the chance to shout out loud in spanish "This is for the brothers of Chile" in behaf of the citizens of Chile who were afected by a recent earthquake in there.The Hurt Locker = the Big Winner of the night!!
"The Hurt Locker", just as I anticipated, took home six Oscars including best picture and best directing for Kathryn Bigelow (first woman in history to win this award and, just as Barbra Straisand said, it was about time). Yep, that's right, they kicked Avatar's ass! haha, we all know it was a pretty tight competition but, in my opinion and many others, they deserved to win...They won:
*Best Achievement in Directing: Kathryn Bigelow
*Best Achievement in Editing: Bob Murawski; Chris Innis
*Best Achievement in Sound: Paul N.J. Ottosson; Ray Beckett
*Best Achievement in Sound: Paul N.J. Ottosson; Ray Beckett
*Best Achievement in Sound Editing: Paul N.J. Ottosson
*Best Motion Picture of the Year: Kathryn Bigelow; Mark Boal; Nicolas Chartier; Greg Shapiro
*Best Motion Picture of the Year: Kathryn Bigelow; Mark Boal; Nicolas Chartier; Greg Shapiro
*Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen: Mark Boal
The best motion picture award was given by Tom Hanks, one of the other big rushes of the night, given that Hanks didn't even announced the nominated. He's house was probably setting on fire or something...who knows, right?
