The Help won Best Cast, instead of The Artist. This is a big upset, since the Artist was considered the favorite. The Artist will probably still win Best Picture, but this win for the Help just made it more interesting.
Viola Davis and Jean Dujardin won Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively, beating out their chief rivals Meryl Streep and George Clooney, who won the Golden Globes. At this point it's a two-men and two-women race for these categories. The only winners who continue their march to surefire Oscars are Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer in the Supporting categories.
The winners in the Television Categories were more predictable. Alec Baldwin won for the sixth time as Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Steve Buscemi won for the second year in a row as Best Actor in the Drama Series. Betty White also won Best Actress in a Comedy Series for the second year in the row for her role in Hot in Cleveland, and sweetly thanked her other co-stars. Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family won again for Best Cast in a Drama Series and Comedy Series, respectively. The only new winner is Jessica Lange for American Horror Story.
Mary Tyler Moore won the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by Dick Van Dyke. Lovely speech, and lovely woman.
