Oscars 2012


The Artist wins Best Picture, Director and Actor




Silent movie takes five awards, while Meryl Streep wins Best Actress for portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.


Best picture: The Artist


Should win: The Artist. Michel Hazavanicius's celebration of Hollywood's past has been dismissed as a piece of cinematic fluff but is fluff a bad thing? The Artist is a clever, beguiling and thoroughly enjoyable piece of fluff. Honourable mention to Drive, which didn't get nominated but is our second favourite film of the year (you'll never get into a lift with Ryan Gosling again).



The Artist, a black and white tribute to Hollywood's golden age, is the first silent film to take the main award since the Oscars began 83 years ago. 



Best director: Michel Hazavanicius


Should win: Michel Hazavanicius, for making fluff with wit and flair.


Best actor: Jean Dujardin 


Should win: Gary Oldman for his melancholy spy George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, but the man who should win isn't even on the list - Michael Fassbender, whose performance as a sex addict in Shame was the best of the year.


Best actress: Meryl Streep


Should win: Meryl Streep, although as a Scot who lived through the worst excesses of Thatcherism, it pains me to write it.


Best supporting actress: Octavia Spencer


Should win: Melissa McCarthy. For this line: "It's coming out of me like lava!" In fact, it's a crime that Bridesmaids doesn't feature in the best picture, best director and best actress categories.


Best supporting actor: Christopher Plummer
