Happy to see all my bets winning the awards.  Warner Bros. Argo and 20th Century Fox's Life of Pi share the glory for winning most of the major awards including Best Picture (Argo) and Best Directing (Ang Lee-Life of Pi).  Jennifer Lawrence continues to conquer the best actress spot putting her name in line the likes of veterans such as Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet.

Congratulations to all the winners.
