History was made at the Oscars on Sunday on a number of different fronts. The new milestones were set in a variety of categories including Best Actor, Picture, and Actress.
Oscar night is finally here and the world will finally have the answers to a number of questions such as: Will Argo Win Best Picture despite the Best Director snub of Ben Affleck? Will Jennifer Lawrence or Jessica Chastain be actress of the year? Or will 86-year old Emmanuelle Riva surprise them with a historic victory as the oldest actress to win? Will Anne Hathaway win her first Oscar? Will Daniel Day-Lewis score his third?
The Oscar statuette costs approximately $500 to make, but the victors earn a page in the history of the Academy Awards. Interestingly, the "losers" actually get to take home over $45,000 in goodies as consolation for their losses.
One of the most unique aspects of the Oscar show is the presenters. With the entirety of Hollywood attending the ceremony, it is always interesting to see who will show up. This year promises to showcase a varied batch of stars.
Oscar night is upon us. The votes are in, the stars have already picked their dresses and all that remains to be seen is whether or not the prognosticators and precursors made the correct picks.
