And the 2012 Oscar went to...

So The Artist did it: five Oscars – Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Score and Best Costumes.

But its haul only matched that of Hugo, which cleaned up in the technical categories: Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, and Visual Effects.

However Hugo did not secure the Best Editing award: that went to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Predictably, Woody Allen won Best Original Screenplay for Midnight In Paris, while The Descendants secured its only Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The Supporting Actor categories went to the unbeatable Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer. Rango picked up Best Animated Film.

Shocks? Meryl Streep securing her third Oscar for a performance that many did not rate in The Iron Lady (which also won Best Make-up), and the Academy not going mad (like it usually does) with the Best Foreign Film by rightly placing A Separation at the top of the heap.
