I don’t know about you guys, but after staying up until midnight on a work night, all those nominees get jumbled in my head, and the next morning I have trouble remembering who won what. Is it just me? Maybe I should lay off the red wine.

Here are the winners from last night’s ceremony:
Best Picture: No Country For Old Men
Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis, There Will Be Blood
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Best Actress: Marion Cotillard, La Vie En Rose
Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton
Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille
Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Best Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody, Juno
Best Adapted Screenplay, Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Best Art Direction: Dante Ferretti/Franscesca Lo Schiavo, Sweeney Todd
Best Cinematography: Robert Elswit, There Will Be Blood
Best Costume Design: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Best Makeup Effects: Didier Lavergne, Jan Archibald, La Vie En Rose
Best Visual Effects: The Golden Compass
Best Sound Editing: Karen Baker Landers, Per Hallberg, The Bourne Ultimatum
Best Sound Mixing: Scott Millan, David Parker, Kirk Francis, The Bourne Ultimatum

Best Score: Dario Romanelli, Atonement
Best documentary: Taxi to the Dark Side
Best Documentary, short feature: Freeheld
Best Foreign Film: The Counterfeiters (Austria)

The Bourne Ultimatum took home three awards for sound and editing, which was a surprise. Another big surprise: Transformers was actually nominated in three categories. No Country For Old men racked up four awards – Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.

While most of the wins went the way experts predicted, there were some interesting choices. Probably the biggest upsets of the night were in the actress categories: Marion Cotillard won Best Actress for La Vie En Rose, in a year when everyone thought Julie Christie would take the statue for Away From Her. Michael Clayton’s cold-as-ice villainness, Tilda Swinton, won for Best Supporting Actress, when Cate Blanchett was the favorite for her work as Bob Dylan in I’m Not There.
