Still surprised that The Hurt Locker took down Avatar? Do you stand firm in your belief that George Clooney gave a better performance than Jeff Bridges? Well, here's your chance to talk back — vote on all the night's big winners (whether you agreed or disagreed) using my handy Oscar polls!
Now that the Oscars have wrapped, let's go back to the beginning and one of the show's best kept secrets: Neil Patrick Harris! The funnyman showed up for an elaborate, Busby Berkeley-style song and dance number to introduce hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Martin and Baldwin then descended the stage, making jokes about the nominees, as is custom. The George Clooney/Baldwin stare-down was pretty fantastic, but I'm not sure that their combined power topped that of their opening act, NPH. Watch the clip of Harris's number below if you missed it, and then tell me which part of the opening you liked more!
For the biggest award of the evening, The Hurt Locker upset Avatar and is the winner of the Oscar for best picture! It also beat out Precious, District 9, A Serious Man, Inglourious Basterds, Up, Up in the Air, The Blind Side, and An Education.
