"Argo" took top honors at the 85th Academy Awards, winning the Oscar for Best Picture. The award, presented by First Lady Michelle Obama from the White House via satellite, capped off an eventful awards season for director/star Ben Affleck, who many believe had been snubbed without a directing nod. The Iran hostage crisis thriller also won awards for Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Daniel Day-Lewis made Oscar history, winning his career third Best Actor trophy for his title role as the 16th president in Steven Spielberg's historical drama "Lincoln."
Recovering from a bit of a stumble up steps to the podium, Jennifer Lawrence breathlessly accepted the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in the David O. Russell comedy "Silver Linings Playbook."
Anne Hathaway dreamed a dream of Oscar gold and it came true, winning Best Supporting Actress for her turn as Fantine in the film adaptation of the hit musical "Les Misérables."
Christoph Waltz claimed the first trophy of the evening with a win for Best Supporting Actor for his role as bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz in "Django Unchained," while writer/director Quentin Tarantino won Best Screenplay for his slavery-era revenge thriller.
Ang Lee took home the Best Director trophy for "Life of Pi," earning the decorated Taiwanese filmmaker his second Oscar in the category. He previously won in 2005 for "Brokeback Mountain." "Life of Pi" earned a total of four awards, including Oscars for Cinematography, Visual Effects and Original Score.

Pop vocalist Adele won the Oscar for Original Song for her soaring titular theme from the latest Bond film "Skyfall."
In a rare Oscar tie, "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Skyfall" both won the award for Sound Editing.

Oscar night’s most awkward moments

Blink and you missed some of the more awkward moments of this year’s Academy awards. Others happened behind-the-scenes. Luckily, they were all caught on camera so we could re-visit them. Again and again.

Seth MacFarlane: "I Saw Your Boobs" song and dance
In one of the least classy and possibly most uncomfortable moments of the evening, host Seth McFarlane executed a production number titled "I Saw Your Boobs." On the Oscars. Yes, really.

Channing Tatum admits he waxes
The "Magic Mike" actor has the smooth moves on the dance floor, but he also admitted to smooth skin – from waxing. Ouch, and we mean it.

Shirley Bassey's overly dramatic performance
The incomparable songstress belted out the classic Bond tune "Goldfinger." But she may have overdone it with her own fingers, clutching at her chest for added – and unnecessary – drama.

Quentin Tarantino fields strange question
Quentin Tarantino, the writer-director of "Django Unchained," could have probably guessed most of the questions coming his way about his Civil War-era revenge fantasy. But this one has to go on record as the oddest.

Renée Zellweger plays keep-away
The "Chicago" star started to let Richard Gere read the Best Song winner, then yanked the envelope away.

David Arquette gets personal
The only thing more awkward than getting condoms in your gift bag: Asking the director of "Paperman" about them. Why, David Arquette, why?

K Stew's limp
The “Twilight” star made it to the Oscars – on crutches. The actress cut the ball of her foot on glass, but managed to hobble on stage without any help.

Sandra Bullock's odd look
The Oscar winner delivered a comically grotesque face as she struggled to open the envelope to announce the award for Best Film Editing.
