(Marion Cotillard)

This year's Academy Awards only went a half hour over schedule. Not bad!

Here's a recap--you can find more results and our comments as it all happened below:

Highs
* Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech
* Jon Stewart's hosting gig (second time's the charm)
* Marketa Irglova's acceptance speech for Best Song (after she was originally cut off by that darn music)
* George Clooney

Eh
* Red carpet fashion — nothing too daring; nothing too stunning

Lows
* Multiple performances of juvenile songs from "Enchanted"
* Blink-and-you'll-miss-it mention of Heath Ledger's death
* Video montages of 80 years of Oscar award winners before each major category

* Photos of all the winning (and losing) Oscar moments

* Photos of Oscars red carpet fashion worst and best here

* Videos of Oscars red carpet fashion worst and best here
