The 80th Annual Academy Awards: List of Nominees and Winners

The 80th Annual Academy Awards: List of Nominees and Winners

The 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony telecasted live on Sunday night from Los Angeles.

There were hardly any emotional moments from winners on the stage and there was little in the way of drama for viewers who watched. Javier Bardem, who won for Best Supporting Actor in the Best Picture winner, "No Country for Old Men," did move the crowd when he concluded his speech with a message to his mother in his native Spanish. She was sitting in the audience, surrounded by the usual suspects and celebrities.

No acting prizes were given out until the second half of the show. Accepting the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay ("Juno"), Diablo Cody held up the statuette and said, "This is for the writers."

The highly praised "Michael Clayton," starring George Clooney, won just one major award, while Marion Cotillard's victory as Best Actress for playing legendary singer Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose" was an upset over newcomer Ellen Page as a pregnant teenager in "Juno."
