Wow, what an Oscar night. In my opinion, this was one of the most entertaining Academy Awards ceremonies in years and one of the few Oscars in recent memory where I felt almost everyone who got an award was really the most deserving. As for my own predictions, I was about 60 percent accurate; for some reason, I was much better at picking the more obscure awards than the major ones. Be sure to check your Oscar ballot and see how you did! Here's a list of who won on Sunday night. (* = BuzzSugar predicted winner)

Alan Arkin was hilarious in Little Miss Sunshine. I was hoping for Gosling to win for Half Nelson, but losing out to Whitaker ain't too shabby. Totally underated actor, that guy.
