Overall a great night at The Oscars. No real surprises, except for Tilda Swinton taking home Best Supporting Actress and Golden Compass besting Transformers for Best Special Effects. Diablo Cody, Daniel Day-Lewis, Pixar and The Coen Brothers all got their Oscars as expected.

There were some good moments throughout and John Stewart used a steady hand to guide the ship. Didn’t hurt that he was really funny and had some great lines. He kept the ceremony brisk and moving along.

The moments for us? Easily the epic opener and Glen Hansgard and Marketa Irglova taking home Best Original Song. But it was when John Stewart brought her back onto the stage, after getting her mic cut off and the music blasting over her, that really made us happy. It was classy on his part, not so much on the show’s producers. Here’s their first go round.

And her actual acceptance speech was wonderful and touching. That was the best moment of the night.
