By now, you already know that Heath Ledger posthumously won Best Supporting Actor in last night's Oscars, but who else discovered a new golden friend? We look back at last night's winners (and losers).

If you were watching last night's unusual ceremony (Hugh Jackman gave it his all, but still) - or, more entertainingly, following the Twitter commentary along at home - it won't come as news that not getting a Best Picture or Best Director nomination was only the beginning of The Dark Knight's woes; despite being nominated for 8 awards, the movie only took home two (Ledger's and Best Sound Editing). Also robbed, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which only won 3 of its 13 nominated categories - although, admittedly, I took Wall-E not winning Best Original Screenplay much worse, even though it had less of a hope. Overall, it wasn't a particularly interesting night - the winners weren't incredibly surprising, the hosts weren't incredibly entertaining, and there wasn't even that much to get annoyed about afterwards (Who can really begrudge Slumdog Millionaire's wins?). Still, at least we got to see host Hugh Wolverine Jackman standing up for Batman and other costumed characters in his opening performance (Skip to 1:30 for a strange complaint about The Dark Knight not being recognized properly):

How can a billion dollars be unsophisticated indeed, Mr. Jackman.
