From March 8...

Well the best in film was honoured last night and it was a very long night. The Academy Awards handed out in Hollywood. Thanks for joining us for this recap of who took home Oscar.

Coming in at just over three and a half hours, the gold kept coming and The Hurt Locker took home six trophies, in fact, making history when Kathyrn Bigelow became the first female to win the best director trophy. She received a standing ovation from the crowd, including ex husband James Cameron who was seated behind her and nominated in the same category. Don't worry, Cameron's movie Avatar picked up plenty of trophies. We'll get to that in a second.

The Hurt Locker also picked up wins for best picture, film editing, sound editing, sound mixing and for writing of the original screenplay.

Cameron's Avatar also picked up Oscars for art direction, cinematography and visual effects. All of which Cameron wasn't eligible to go on stage for! It was a great movie, he deserves it.

Jeff Bridges once again swept the category of actor in a leading role for Crazy Heart. We've reported here on the Wrap Up that Bridges also took home the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for the same category. He was choked up when thanking his family. To recap the history of Bridges, he'd only been nominated four times in 38 years and never won. Clearly this was his year to break that streak.

Sandra Bullock also seemed genuinely surprised for her win as best actress for her role in The Blind Side, where her character looked an awful lot like Kathie Lee Gifford. It was her first win and first nomination - meaning Bullock, not Gifford. She took jabs at fellow nominee Meryl Streep who's been nominated a record 16 times.

Coincidentally, Bullock was also nominated for a Razzie, that's the awards recognizing the worst in film, She won for her role in All About Steve and the day before the Oscars, she was there to pick up her trophy for the 2010 Golden Raspberry. Yes, she showed up to accept her trophy as part of the worst screen couple teamed up with Bradley Cooper.

Christoph Waltz won the supporting actor category for his role in Inglourious Basterds.

It was a touching night for the cast and crew of Precious. Mo'Nique won for the supporting actress role in the film and writer Geoffrey Fletcher was recognized in the best writing adapted screenplay category.

Animated film Up also took home the prize for best animated feature film as well as original score.

Hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin - the first time two people had hosted the show in 23 years. It was a very long night opened by Neil Patrick Harris. Did anybody else think they were watching the wrong show? Wrapping up after midnight Eastern time it was time for the stars to party in Hollywood.

Tonight also on ABC Jason and Molly from the Bachelor get married. Tune in as they are the second couple to exchange vows and head over to Vegas to place your bets on how long this marriage will last. I'm guessing not as long as last night's Academy Awards!
