Years A Slave and Gravity win big at the Oscars
03/03/2014
The winner of the most awards of the night went to Gravity, which took home seven Academy Awards, including an award for the films director Alfonso Cuar n. The film also won in the cinematography, visual effects and original music score.
The first award of the night went to Jared Leto, as many expected, who won best supporting actor for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club. He dedicated his award to his mother, his date on the night.
Thank you for teaching me to dream, said Leto.
The award for best actress in a supporting role went to newcomer Lupita Nyongo for her portrayal of a slave under the thumb of a sadistic master in 12 Years A Slave.
It doesnt escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone elses, and so I want to salute the spirit of Patsey, for her guidance, she said in her acceptance speech.
Another expected winner was Frozen, which took home the Oscar for best animated feature film. The Disney animated picture has made more than $1 billion worldwide.
The amiable Ellen DeGeneres took over hosting duties this year. DeGeneres brought a less controversial vibe than the salty humor of last years host, Seth MacFarlane.
DeGeneres opening was well received as she poked fun at many actors in the crowed, including mocking Jennifer Lawrence for falling on her way onto the red carpet, just as she did when she accepted the Oscar last year for Silver Linings Playbook.
If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar, said DeGeneres to Lawrence, nominated for her performance in American Hustle.
She also spent parts of the show mingling with crowd, taking selfies to post on Twitter and even delivering pizza to several actors.
