Oscar Winners 2012!

In case you missed The 84th Annual Academy Awards aka The Oscars, here are the winners! I was thrilled to see The Artist win Best Picture along with Jean Dujardin nabbing Best Actor and Michel Hazanavicius winning Best Director! I’ve been pulling for that film ever since I saw it, I’m so glad it got the recognition it truly deserved. If you haven’t seen it yet, you must, especially if you’re a movie lover!
