Hollywood’s biggest night has come to an end, and as usual, the Academy Awards delivered plenty of memorable moments.
But as much as we loved the James Bond tribute and the hilarious monologue from first-time host Conan O’Brien, the winners and their acceptance speeches were the focus of the night.
