I did like The Artist, but I'd probably have given The Tree of Life Best Picture that year. Or Hugo. Best Actor I'd have given to Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Nick Nolte would have been my Best Supporting Actor choice (he chews scenery to splendid effect in Warrior). Best Adapted Screenplay I'd have given to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or Hugo.
But Moneyball is still damn good. :)
