WALTZ PULLS OSCAR UPSET
It didn’t take long for the first big upset of Oscar night.
Christoph Waltz claimed the first statuette, winning best supporting actor for his role as a refined bounty hunter in “Django Unchained.”
Waltz briefly found himself in a bizarre moment in the backstage interview room when actor David Arquette popped up and asked if he was excited about the possibility of a black man being chosen as the next pope.
