“The King’s Speech” took home best picture and three other trophies last night at the 83rd Academy Awards. Meanwhile, “Inception” also won four awards, mostly in technical categories. Other memorable moments included an exasperated Melissa Leo dropping the “f-word” while accepting her Oscar for best supporting actress, and co-host James Franco appearing on stage in a dress.

Rafer Guzman, film critic for Newsday, and co-host of The Takeaway Movie Date Podcast with Takeaway producer Kristen Meinzer, are here to help with their Oscar hangover cure: a hearty mix of the winners, losers, and surprises that will be heating up YouTube and the water cooler conversations today.
