Notes and Reactions...

  • The Artist was ruled ineligible for the WGAs, so it might still be the Oscar favorite over Midnight in Paris, which won tonight. It could be one of the closer races.
  • With its win tonight, The Descendants is becoming a wide favorite on Oscar night.
  • Better This World wasn't eligible for an Oscar, so Pina is probably the favorite for the Oscar.
