Premiati nella nottata italiana i vincitori dei premi Oscar per la scorsa stagione cinematografica americana.
A farla da padrone, come da pronostici, The Artist che vince in tutte le principali categorie (5 statuette, così come Hugo di Scorsese, che però si accontenta di riconoscimenti "tecnici").
Facendo del campanilismo una virtù, gongoliamo nel vedere i soliti Dante Ferretti e Francesca Lo Schiavo alzare al cielo l'ennesimo Oscar (il terzo) per il loro lavoro nella scenografia di Hugo. Merita una menzione lo straordinario ottantaduenne Christopher Plummer, giustamente premiato per la sua performance in Beginners (pellicola meritevole mal distrubuita dalle nostre parti).
