And The Oscar goes to...

 The verdict was out- The Artist and Hugo won 5 awards each.My selection was partly ok, but never thought that 'Hugo' will win these many awards.Very sad to see that there was no award for 'War Horse".

My choice for best actor was also Jean Dujardin, he was charming in "The Artist". Second best was Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" .  I read in many forums and papers about Maryl Streep's performance in "The Iron Lady" but i firmly believe that Viola Davis was better in "The Help". This is Meryl Streep's third Oscar, well done!

For supporting actor,Christopher Plummer in "Beginners" was good but my choice was Van Max Sydow. By winning this Christopher Plummer became the oldest actor win an Oscar.As for supporting actress Octavia Spencer was perfect.The real surprise for me was the choice for best animated feature film, academy chose "Rango" but i thought "A Cat in Paris" was far better than "Rango", anyway given.The best director award was won by Micheal Hazanavicius for "The Artist", good choice. "A Separation" an Iranian movie won the best foreign film, this movie is a heart warming one.

Another surprise was the choice for  Music-Original Score -Ludovic Bource for "The Artist" , i thought John Williams for "War Horse" or Alberto Iglesias for "Tinker Tailor Soldier SPy will win.Perhaps Ludovic had a tough time to compose for silent scenes and he too did well,now they are planning to go for a world musical tour.Woody Allen won the award for best Original screenplay award for "Midnight in Paris".

Overall a good year for movie goers!
