With Hollywood having assembled to recognise the good and great of the big screen on Oscars night, we follow suit by selecting the triumphs and the turkeys from another seven days in sport.
Bad week
Ricky Burns
After a difficult couple of years that had seen unconvincing performances against Jose Gonzalez and Raymundo Beltran, Ricky Burns had plenty to prove in his WBO lightweight title defence against Terence Crawford on Saturday.
A broken jaw had been blamed for his poor showing against Beltran, but sadly for the Scot there were no mitigating circumstances against the
undefeated Crawford who proved too quick, too slick and too strong in recording a one-sided points victory.
Gracious as ever, Burns conceded he had been beaten by the better man on the night and insisted he would be back, but now faces a real battle to prove he is enduring a lull in his career, rather than being in terminal decline.
Red Bull
Things were certainly bad at Jerez and during Bahrain Test One, but the final test of the winter marked a serious and damaging new low for the world champions.
Sebastian Vettel endured two breakdowns on Saturday, managing not a single timed lap, another frustrating on-track stoppage on Sunday and then conceded that the RB10 currently doesn't have the pace of the frontrunners, to say nothing of reliability.
It would be fair to state that things are rapidly approaching a full-blown crisis and, while a team with such a vast arsenal of resource and record of success will not be down for long, the question is whether it will already be too late by the time they do find an answer.
Alan Pardew
After a comprehensive 4-1 victory at Hull, Newcastle should have been staking a claim for a spot in our
Good Week section... but boss Alan Pardew ensured any talk of that win soon became an afterthought.
In quite remarkable scenes
the Magpies manager squared up to Hull's David Meyler before appearing to headbutt the midfielder in a turn of events that, unsurprisingly, sparked uproar at the KC Stadium.
Despite quickly issuing a frank apology and being hit with a hefty fine and warning by his own employers, a contrite Pardew seems certain to face further censure with plenty of voices within the game claiming his job could and should be on the line.
Tiger Woods
With the Masters now just over a month away there is plenty to concern Tiger Woods who is struggling with both form and injury.
Without a top-10 on American soil since last August, the 38-year-old endured another week to forget at the Honda Classic as
he withdrew after 12 holes of his final round complaining of back spasms.
Despite a 65 in round three offering brief hope, the world No 1 was never genuinely in contention at any point during the event and, with the season's first major now looming large, Woods will know his chances at Augusta currently look particularly bleak.
