As predicted by many, the silent throwback ‘The Artist’ dominated last night’s 84th Annual Academy Awards. Not only did they take home the biggest honor of the night--‘Best Picture,’ they also won four more Oscars.
‘The Artist’ started garnering buzz when it debuted at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. And since then, we’ve seen it everywhere, but here are a few things you might not know about the Best Picture, ‘The Artist.’

In a video montage, Crystal recreates a bunch of scenes movies that came out in the past year including, 'Bridesmaids,' 'The Help,' and 'Hugo.' It also included a kiss from George Clooney, a Jonah Hill cameo, and a meeting with Justin Bieber. Bieber pretends to know who Hemingway is. Probably thinks it's one of his backup dancers.
The only Oscar bet I made was the fact that Billy Crystal would say 'you look mahvalous!' within the first thirty seconds of his hosting. I lost. But he did remind us that it was his ninth time hosting the Oscars. And of course, a song and dance kicked off immediately.
"We're here at the beautiful Chapter 11 theater," Crystal said, referring to recent news of Kodak taking their name off of the theater to save $4 million a year. Woah, there, Billy. Getting kinda edgy! If the Academy wanted smarm, they would've gone with Ricky Gervais.

We couldn’t overlook Uggie’s role in The Artist, mostly because he’s so doggone (sorry) cute. Here are a few things you might not know about the Academy’s biggest snub, Uggie the Dog.
He’s a Senior Citizen: Uggie is 10 years old, which is 70 in dog years. He looks great for his age.
He Was Made For Show Business: Uggie’s trainer, Omar Von Muller, says “[Uggie] was just born to be a showman.” I say he hosts the next Academy Awards.

This morning, Dujardin nabbed himself Oscar nomination for his role in the silent hit, The Artist. Dujardin takes on the role of George Valentin, a silent screen star whose career falls apart when talking motion pictures are introduced. The film was a risky endeavor, but it’s definitely paid off.
