Michelle Obama
Remember when you thought Jack Nicholson teaming with Adam Sandler was unusual? Well, nothing compared to Jack teaming up with the first lady to announce the Best Picture winner. So we have to ask: Does that mean the president gets to find out who won first?
Ben Affleck
Though he wasn't nominated for director, he did get the satisfaction (following another producer's speech) to speak to the Academy about his film.
Sandra Bullock
That was a very tightly sealed envelope.
Jennifer Lawrence
Sure, it's a little slip while picking up an award, but our hearts hurt a bit for the Silver Linings Playbook star as she stumbled heading to get her award. That said, she recovered nicely and we hope she was able to enjoy the moment.
Jennifer Lawrence
See, it looks like she did.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The Lincoln star became the first actor to win three Best Actor Oscars—then gave a funny and heartfelt speech.
Ang Lee
The Life of Pi director surprised, well, us, when he beat the favorite Steven Spielberg for top directing award.
Charlize Theron & Dustin Hoffman
Well, they're just cute.
Quentin Tarantino
Accepting the screenwriting award, the Django Unchained mainman was, for once, at a loss for words.
Barbra Streisand
The legend sang "Memories" during the broadcast.
Daniel Radcliffe and Kristen Stewart
The stars of two super-popular franchises teamed up to fight crime to present an award.
Anne Hathaway
The Les Misérables star won the Best Supporting Actress award, surprising no one.
Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington
The Django pair presented looking lovely.
Halle Berry
The Oscar winner introduced a James Bond celebration.
The Les Misérables cast
Just one of the performances on a long night, this might have been the biggest one.
Seth MacFarlane
We give him good marks. The show was too long and had some tone problems, but overall he was a winning host.
Catherine Zeta Jones
Ten years after the fact, she can still deliver the Chicago goods.
Jennifer Hudson
The Dreamgirls star revisited her show-stopping "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and blew the crowd away.
