12 Years A Slave took home Best Picture, but it was Gravity that won the most golden statues with seven Oscar wins at the 86th Academy Awards.
Host Ellen DeGeneres had fun with the star-studded audience, ordering pizza and making Brad Pitt give out paper plates to lucky ladies such as Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who were all very hungry. DeGeneres also made fun of Jennifer Lawrence’s great fall at last year’s Oscars in her opening monologue and likening the entire awards show to The Hunger Games.
The awards went off swiftly, and not without a hitch or two, but technical difficulties aside, DeGeneres delivered a sweet, funny and uncontroversial show. Her best host moment came when she took a selfie mid-show with Streep that turned into a selfie with anyone in the first three rows who was quick enough to run and beat each other into the frame. Best Supporting Actor nominee Bradley Cooper took the photo, which included Lawrence, Lupita Nyong’o, Julia Roberts, Channing Tatum, Jared Leto, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey.
DeGeneres declared she wanted the photo to be the most re-tweeted tweet in the history of Twitter – it has since been re-tweeted over 2 million times. The Oscars didn’t just break records on Twitter, Best Original Song winner Robert Lopez, who shared the award with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez for their song “Let It Go” from Frozen, became the youngest man ever to win the elusive EGOT – Lopez has now won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
Nyong’o won Best Supporting Actress for her role in 12 Years A Slave, which was also her feature film debut, and delivered one of the best speeches of the night. She will also, no doubt, be crowned best dressed.
