    The Artist,in particular, did amazingly well by picking up several of the biggest gongs including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.

    We're delighted for Meryl Streep, who won her third Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while the lovely Octavia Spencer triumphed in the Best Supporting Actress category for her turn in The Help.
