This year's Academy Awards didn't draw that many viewers, but they sure drummed up a lot of excitement here on the Sugar Network!
Before the ceremony last month, I asked you to predict the night's winners by filling out my Oscar ballot. This was a tricky year with a lot of great talent in each of the categories and plenty of surprises, so this was no easy task.

The live-action short films and animated short films from this year's Oscars are still working their way through theaters, but if the tour isn't stopping near you or you just don't have time for a trip to the movies, there's another option. All of the Oscar shorts are available on iTunes for $1.99 each.
That's really not a bad deal, considering that you could buy all 10 films for $20 — about what it would cost to see both shorts programs in the theater.

As the Oscars hubbub subsides, so concludes another frenzied season of major awards shows. There was the Emmys ceremony back in September, before the writers strike, and then the starkly pared-down Golden Globes during the strike. There were the Grammys and, of course, last Sunday's Oscars show.

Well, the results are in, and we now have movies that will forever be known as Oscar-winning. A lot of you said you go see the films once they're nominated, but if you didn't get to all of them before Sunday's show, maybe now's the time. Some people were so smitten with Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech that they want to rush out to see La Vie En Rose for her performance.

According to the Nielsen ratings company, Sunday's Oscars were the least-watched edition of the show in history, at least since Nielsen started tracking the ratings in 1974. They scored just about 32 million viewers — which is down from down from last year's 40 million and is smaller than the number of people who watched this year's American Idol premiere. The previous low came in 2003, when a Steve Martin-hosted ceremony brought in 33 million viewers.
