And the 2012 Oscar Winners Are…

Hey people, Joel here with the the results from last night’s Academy Awards.

If anything, last night proved that predictions are just that with many websites that I visited having missed the mark on many categories. I guess by that reasoning you could call this years Oscars a little disappointing. The two clear winners were The Artist, which took many of the larger awards, and Hugo, which took home a large haul of major and minor statues.
