Robert Downey Jr.
In what can only be described as a "Downey-esque" bit of business, the actor suggested that the key to a Best Actress nomination was spending some sexy time with him.
Kaley Cuoco & Jim Parsons
In possibly the sweetest moment of the evening, Cuoco literally jumped for joy when she read the name of her Big Bang costar.
Halle Berry
Always a delight, the actress' mere presence rendered Paul Giamatti into a delighted, babbling fool. And who could blame him?
Robert Pattinson & Olivia Wilde
Even award shows need eye candy, and we are grateful.
Jimmy Fallon & January Jones
In maybe the funniest bit of the night, the two cuties goofed on fake-sounding award show intros...with one of their own.
Christian Bale
The actor gave a wonderfully funny speech that was totally unexpected from such a serious actor.
Jeff Bridges
Dude! Last year's big winner was on hand to bestow an award on Natalie Portman, man.
Colin Firth
Who doesn't love this guy? Attentive during the show and gracious and funny when winning, the King's Speech actor is the odds-on favorite to win an Oscar, too.
Michael Douglas
In a surprise appearance, the actor came out to announce the final award with a joking reference to his recent bout with cancer, "There's just gotta be an easier way to get a standing ovation."
Ricky Gervais
In a polarizing performance, the comic roasted some of Hollywood's biggest stars, and pushed the boundaries of good taste.
Geoffrey Rush & Tilda Swinton
These two seemed to be having some sly fun with the whole proceedings with some exaggerated enunciations and a tone of mock-gravity.
Al Pacino
The acting legend picked up a trophy for playing Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
Katey Sagal
In a surprise win, the Sons of Anarchy actress picked up a trophy for her gritty performance of a motorcycle gang leader's iron-willed wife.
Bruce Willis
Despite being introduced as "Ashton Kutcher's father," the veteran actor displayed unflappable cool.
Robert De Niro
Always unexpected as an actor, he totally surprised everyone with a stand-up routine in lieu of a serious speech. Funny, but kind of scary, too.
Aaron Sorkin
The brilliant writer won for his Social Network script, as well as celebrated all the smart, successful women in the room.
David Fincher
On a very big night for his film, the Social Network director delivered a terrific speech, too.
