Academy Awards: ‘The Artist’ Has a Big Night

The Takeaway

Billy Crystal was back in his popular yet predictable role as the host for the Academy Awards. The Academy Awards took place last night and we have Kristen Meinzer, our Movie Date co-host in studio with us to recap the winners and losers.   Did Meryl Streep deserve her award for Best Actress? Were there any surprises, or wardrobe malfunctions? How great did Emma Stone look? And don’t forget the stunt pulled by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.  We have a re-cap of last night’s festivities.
