And just like...it's over.
The Winners
Martin Scorcese -- not only for Director, but The Departed bucked some major trends (no Golden Globe, no PGA, no SAG Ensemble) to win Best Picture. Can't be mad, as the Academy picked a very good movie for its top award.
An Inconvenient Truth -- Two awards, the most ever for a documentary. Bonus points for Al Gore providing one of the best jokes of the night: his faux Presidential announcement being interrupted by the orchestra...
Alan Arkin -- The one true upset of the evening -- as with Scorcese, I'm glad to see him finally own an Oscar.
The Not-Winners
Dreamgirls and Babel -- 15 nominations between the two of them and only three Oscars (Score for Babel; Supporting Actress and Sound Mixing for Dreamgirls.)
The Orchestra -- Al Gore's joke aside, this whole musical bum-rush has got to stop. I don't care if the show is approaching its fourth hour -- fans of the Oscars are going to watch anyway. Let the winners talk, cry, laugh, stumble and be human.
That's enough of that. Next, we'll take a look ahead at possible nominees for this upcoming film season...
