We'll be keeping track of the wins, the acceptance speeches, the tears and the Alec Baldwin/Steve Martin repartee. Check back here for more throughout the night!

12:01 a.m.: It's a wrap folks. With the clock ticking, "The Hurt Locker" takes it with zero fanfare. Kathryn Bigelow, however, is double-fisting her Oscars. The producers give an appropriate shout out to the one producer banned from the ceremony, Nicolas Chartier, who you know is at home partying away.

11:55 p.m.: "The time has come ..." Kathryn Bigelow is the first female to win the best director Oscar. The award is dedicated to the men and women in the military, wishing them safe travels back.

11:52 p.m.: Great acceptance speech, including the shout out to Meryl Streep for being such a good kisser. She even made her husband, Jesse James, cry.

Best supporting actor nominee Christoph Waltz was the man for whom "Inglourious Basterds" director Quentin Tarantino had been waiting. Until Waltz "waltzed" in (Tarantino's joke, not ours), "Inglourious Basterds" was in danger of being canned.

"It wasn’t worth doing if what I wrote on the page couldn't be captured on the cinema," Tarantino said. Waltz, who isn't placing any bets on who's winning what tonight, said he blushes every time he hears that.

For him, "this is a fresh start. I’ve had a long career, and that career didn’t always go up, but it didn’t always go down either. There was nothing that really pulled me out of this somewhat mediocre puttering about. ['Inglourious Basterds'] definitely did."

Waltz is one of the favorites in the best supporting actor category, and Tarantino also may take home an Oscar tonight for best director. The filmmaker is certainly a Hollywood giant, but thus far, he says his secret to success is pretty simple.

"I just put one foot in front of the other," Tarantino said. "And so far, I haven’t tripped yet."

Gabourey Sidibe said she knew from the beginning that the navy gown she's sporting would be the dress she wore down the red carpet.

The star of "Precious" said she considers herself  "a normal person in a fantasy world" at her Oscar debut.

"I don't believe my life," she added.
