3. Best hug: Daniel Day-Lewis hugging presenter and nominated actress Meryl Streep.

6. Best dressed: Anne Hathaway gave gamine a chic new name in a flawless dress and performance in "Les Miserables."
7. Best live musical number: The cast of "Les Miserables" performing a medley of the amazing film live and superbly. My highlight of the night.
