84th Oscar Winners

The 2011 film awards season has ended, and it was fairly predictable. (Though, I am thrilled that Hugo - my favorite film of last year - won 5 Oscars, even if it did not deserve some of those wins.) While I went 16/24 in my predictions, I managed 22/24 with alternates. On to next year's campaign then.

Here are this year's winners:
