OSCAR BLOG #8: Did we predict correctly? Refresh your memory of this morning's Oscar winners!

By InCinemas  /  27 Feb 2012 (Monday)
What a frantic and exciting week! The Oscars are finally over, with the Academy bestowing the greatest honour in film, in the form of a little golden man, on deserving winners. There were memorable moments galore in a successfully organized ceremony, hosted by the brilliant Billy Crystal, who kept the whole event running smoothly without any glitch, and kept it on time!
