There were a number of highlights (50 year anniversary clip of James Bond films) and then some not-so-high moments (some of the presenters, like the Avengers case, seemed lost and disorganized). Speaking of low moments, a couple of the winners got cut off by the "Jaws" theme music in mid-acceptance speech which just made the Academy seem like a bunch of assholes. I mean seriously. You have time to show us a pointless montage of every movie musical known to man -- complete with a live performance for each friggin' movie -- but you can't let this artist speak for 30 more seconds about something they've been working their entire lives to achieve? Really?
So who won and who lost the big categories?
