Meryl Streep's Record Breaking Win

Meryl Streep's Record Breaking Win
A big surprise of the night was Meryl Streep's third Oscar win. She's been nominated 17 times, but the last time she won was 29 years ago for lead actress in "Sophie's Choice." Most guesser's had Viola Davis for her lead in The Help as the sure fire win, since she would've been only the second black woman to win for the lead, after Halle Berry, and would have put Davis and her "Help" costar Octavia Spencer in the history books for winning in the same year, and for the same film.
