2011 Oscar Awards: The Highlights and the Complete List of Winners

 Top 10 films opening number showcased Franco and Hathaway's acting chops as they were hilariously transposed into scenes from this year's nominated movies. James Franco to Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg: "You just lost a Facebook friend! And tell those Winklevoss twins to stop giving me the stink eye!"

Later, Best Supporting Actor Christian Bale ("The Fighter") delivered an infomercial during his acceptance speech, while "The Social Network" writer Aaron Sorkin talked over the cut-off music for at least a minute. And a svelte and sequined Oprah presented the award for "Best Documentary."

As for musical entertainment, Gwyneth Paltrow performed the theme song from her flick, "Country Strong." This is getting to be a tradition.

And fashionwise, it was a very good year. From Scarlett Johannson's stunning amethyst lace gown to Gwyneth Paltrow in shimmery, gold Calvin Klein to Reese Witherspoon in Armani and sparkly green earrings, the ladies of the evening were dressed to the nines.
