Director Kathryn Bigelow also took home the Best Director award for the film – she’s the first woman to win the award in the Academy’s history.

“This really is… There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of a lifetime. First of all, this is so extraordinary to be in the company of such powerful, my fellow nominees, such powerful filmmakers who have inspired me and I have admired for, some of whom, for decades. And thank you to every member of the Academy. This is, again, the moment of a lifetime.”
FYI: Bigelow’s ex-husband, James Cameron was also nominated for the Best Director and Best Picture award for his film, Avatar.

Sandra Bullock won her first Oscar for her performance in The Blind Side.
Here’s what she said during her acceptance speech:
“Did I really earn this or did I just wear you all down? I would like to thank the Academy for allowing me in the last month to have the most incredible ride with rooms full of artists that I see tonight and that I’ve worked with before and I hope to work with in the future, who inspire me and blaze trails for us. Four of them that I’ve fallen deeply in love with I share this night with and I share this award with.
Gabby, I love you so much. You are exquisite. You are beyond words to me. Carey, your grace and your elegance and your beauty and your talent makes me sick. Helen, I feel like we are family through family and I don’t have the words to express just what I think of you. And Meryl, you know what I think of you and you are such a good kisser.

Jeff Bridges took home the Best Actor award for his role as Bad Blake in Crazy Heart.
The actor was nominated along with Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), George Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man) and Morgan Freeman (Invictus).
During his acceptance speech he said:
“Oh! Thank you, Academy members! Mom and dad, yeah, look! Whoo!
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for turning me on to such a groovy profession. Oh, my dad and my mom, they loved show biz so much. I remember my mom, getting all of us kids to entertain at her parties. You know, my dad sitting me on his bed and teaching me all of the basics of acting for a role in Sea Hunt.

Ben Stiller spoofed Avatar at the 82nd Academy Awards. He was dressed as a Na’vi, complete with blue makeup, a long braid and tail. He also spoke in Na’vi language.
The spoof was originally supposed to include Sacha Baron Cohen, but was canceled last minute after producers feared that it would offend director James Cameron.
During the ceremony Stiller said:
“That means: ‘This seemed like a better idea in rehearsal. It was between this and the Nazi uniform but the show seemed a little Hitler-heavy… I am here to present the award for best makeup.
The ironic thing is Avatar isn’t even nominated. … I should have just warned my Spock ears. I have two pairs signed by Leonard Nimoy. That would have been too nerdy. But this is much cooler.”
FYI: Star Trek took home the award!

Mo’Nique won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Precious.
She was up against Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart), Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) and Penelope Cruz (Nine).
During her acceptance speech she said:
First, I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics. I want to thank Miss Hattie McDaniel for enduring all that she had to so that I would not have to. Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey because you touched it, the whole world saw it. Ricky Anderson, our attorney of Anderson & Smith, thank you for your hard work. My entire BET family, my Precious family, thank you so much. To my amazing husband Sidney, thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what’s popular in order to do what’s right. And baby, you were so right. God bless us all.

Maggie Gyllenhaal wows in a blue patterned strapless Dries Van Noten gown.
The 82nd Academy Awards are held at Kodak Theatre tonight (March 7) in Hollywood.
Gyllenhaal was nominated for her role in Crazy Heart, but lost out to Mo’Nique who won for Precious.
The actress walked the red carpet alongside her husband Peter Sarsgaard whose film An Education is nominated for Best Picture.
Gyllenhaal was excited to be nominated during a recent interview she said:
“I wasn’t nominated for anything else for this movie, so on some level, I let go of the award stuff. I did sort of go through the thing, ‘Oh, awards aren’t everything,’ and then to be nominated was kind of a little mind trip.”
“I am going to have a fitting when I go back home to New York. I saw some pictures of some beautiful dresses, and I’m going to try them on.”

Christoph Waltz took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Inglourious Basterds.
Waltz shared the category with Matt Damon (Invictus), Woody Harrelson (The Messenger), Christopher Plummer (The Last Station) and Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones)
Waltz recently shared his thoughts on the Oscar awards:
“What does it mean to me? The Oscar is like more than an award. It’s more than a statue. It’s like a whole concept of reality. It’s not something to necessarily be aspired to, because it’s beyond my reach. It’s something that descends on you.”
