Engine crapped out today.

Have a 4.8i. I was going full throttle on a steep uphill and I suddenly hear/feel this crackling and crunching sound from the engine bay. Then it begins to smoke and I hear fluid rushing out. Luckily, there were no cars behind me when I pulled to the side of the road. We all got out of the car and the engine oil was just streaming out until nothing was left. The dealership wasn't open so I'll have to wait till Monday to hear the official diagnosis. Any ideas what might've happened?
