Documentary film "The Cove" about Dolphin slaughters in Japan won the Oscar for best documentary feature at the 82nd Academy Awards.
There was some controversy however, with the winners unveiling a banner that said "Text Dolphin to 44144". The director of the awards show quickly cut away to the crowd.
Millions of Americans wondered what that was all about, according to one web site promoting the documentary "The Cove":
