Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were among the winners at the Oscars last night (02.03.14).
Gravity cleaned the board with seven awards, while 12 Years a Slave won best picture at the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
Lupita picked up the gong for best supporting actress for 12 Years a Slave, while Cate Blanchett won best actress for her role in Blue Jasmine and Matthew and Jared took home the Oscar statues for best Actor and best supporting actor respectively for their roles in Dallas Buyer’s Club.
Jared couldn’t believe his luck when he picked up his award and he later handed it to journalists in the press room for them to take photographs with it.
Meanwhile, director of 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen, praised his mother Mary for her “hardheadedness” and insisted the film was about the will “not just to survive but to live”, while producer Brad Pitt thanked the Academy for the “incredible” award.
Elsewhere, Disney’s Frozen picked up the award for best animated feature, while its soundtrack ‘Let It Go’ won best original song. The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, also won two prizes at the 86th Academy Awards for best production design and best costume design.
