Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist" was named best picture at the
84th Academy Awards on Sunday.
It is the first essentially silent film to win best
picture since "Wings" won at the first Oscar ceremony in 1929.
Additionally, "The Artist" is the first black-and-white movie to win
best picture since "Schindler's List" in 1994.
"The Artist" is a look at the early days of
Hollywood starring Jean Dujardin as silent film star George Valentin and
Berenice Bejo as the ordinary girl who becomes a silent film sensation. But
perhaps the most notable member of the cast is Uggie, the Jack Russell Terrier
who potrays Valentin's dog, Jack.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and
quickly earned critical acclaim (including a Palm Dog award for Uggie).
It became a year-end critics' favorite, topping several
year's-best lists, as well as winning the Critics' Choice Award for best
picture. It also won top film awards from the Producers Guild of America, the
British Academy of Film and Television Arts and best motion picture musical or
comedy from the Golden Globes.
The film topped a field that included "The Descendants,"
"Hugo," "The Help," "Moneyball," "War
Horse," "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," "Midnight
in Paris" and "The Tree of Life."
The Academy Awards took place in Hollywood and were
televised live on ABC. They were presented by the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts

FAVOURITE QUOTES AT THE 0SCARS 2012
“Next year this’ll be called the Flomax theater.” — Host
Billy Crystal, referring to several elderly nominees this year, including Max
von Sydow and Christopher Plummer.
“You’re only two years older than me, darling. Where have
you been all my life?” — Christopher Plummer, on winning for best supporting
actor for “Beginners.” At 82, he is the oldest Oscar winner in the 84-year
history of the Academy Awards.
“When they said my name, I had this feeling I could hear
half of America, ‘oh no, oh not her again,’ but whatever.”
“I really understand I’ll never be up here again. I see
my life before my eyes.” — Meryl Streep, winning for best actress for “The Iron
Lady,” her third Oscar in a record 17 nominations.
“A year ago today we were sitting in our editing room,
depressed thinking nobody was ever going to see this movie and a friend said,
“don’t worry, next year you’ll be at the Oscars” and we said, “you’re an
idiot.” So we’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to him and say
you’re a lot smarter than we thought.” — Dan Lindsay, on winning best
documentary feature for “Undefeated.”
“At this time many Iranians all over the world are
watching us and I imagine them to be very happy. They are happy not just
because of an important award or a film or a filmmaker, but because at the time
when talk of war, intimidation, and aggression is exchanged between politicians
the name of their country, Iran, is spoken here through her glorious culture, a
rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of
politics.” — Asghar Farhadi, director-writer-producer, on winning best foreign
language film for “A Separation.”
“I was genuinely starstruck when I met Kermit the Frog.
Like many stars here tonight, he’s a lot shorter in real life.” — Bret
McKenzie, who won best original song for “Man or Muppet:”
“I just want to thank everybody who’s here tonight and
everybody who isn’t and everybody who’s ever been born or may be born or be
born again or reborn. If I’ve forgotten anybody then you probably know who you
are.” — Philip Stockton, winning for sound editing for “Hugo.”
“I don’t have to wait for a wedding to tell the world how
wonderful she is.” — Terry George, who won for best live action short “The
Shore” with daughter Oorlagh George.
“My mother is here from Omaha. She made me promise that
if I ever won another Oscar, I’d dedicate it to her just like Javier Bardem did
with his mother.” — Alexander Payne, on winning best adapted screenplay for
“The Descendants.”
“If George Valentine could speak, he’d say ‘wow! genial,
formidable, merci’.” — French actor Jean Dujardin, winning for best actor for
“The Artist,” referring to his character in the silent film.
“Let’s get out of here.” — Kirk Baxter, on winning
achievement in film editing for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”
