The producer, Thomas Langmann, and the director, Michel Hazanavicius, accepted the award. Hazanavicius said he wanted to thank three people: Billy Wilder, Billy Wilder, and Billy Wilder.
The film also won awards for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Score, and Best Costume Design.
Of course, some people had to pose on the red carpet, including:
Dave Itzkoff at The New York Times said: Tom Cruise presented the last award of the night, Best Picture, to The Artist (as was widely anticipated). Thomas Langmann offered a thank you "from the bottom of my heart", as Uggie the dog made his first stage appearance of the night. And that's the show, folks...
The Oscar for Best Actor went to Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady, who edged out Viola Davis in The Help, and, perhaps, the last genuinely up-for-grabs category of the night.
Melena Ryzik at The New York Times said: As expected, The Artist took best picture, and the French filmmakers and stars behind it provided some of the genuine movie moments the Academy was after: the overarching enthusiasm, emotion, and love of film.
