Slumdog Millionaire is the first film in history to win eight or more trophies without winning Costume Design. And is only the second (behind From Here to Eternity) to win that many without an Art Direction trophy.

Is this the first time an actor who had to drop out of a role (Nicole Kidman) gave the Oscar to the actor who took over for him/her (Kate Winslet)? If you re-watch the presentation, I think Kate said something to Nicole about this, who shook her head.

This was the first year since the institution of two competitive sound categories where each category had a different winner, even though both winners were nominated in both categories. Previous splits have always involved at least one winner not nominated in the other category.
I wouldn't have been surprised to see Slumdog take both or the Dark Knight take both, but I found this split to be one of the most surprising results of the night.
