For the first time in at least six year, we have a Best Picture winner that will stand the test of time. Cynics thought the Academy's highest honor would go to American Hustle, the numbers were pointing slightly towards Gravity, but the Oscar ultimately went to 12 Years a Slave, the definitive major motion picture about slavery. The ceremony itself was an absolute chore, but it was wonderful to see Steve McQueen's harrowing drama pick up the win at the end. Additionally, Gravity--another great movie--received plenty of love by earning seven Oscars including Alfonso Cuaron for Best Director. Among the acting categories, there were no surprises: Matthew McConaughey for Best Actor, Cate Blanchett for Best Actress, Jared Leto for Best Supporting Actor, and Lupita Nyong'o for Best Supporting Actress. It was not a shocking night, and the biggest "upset" was Mr. Hublot beating out Get a Horse! for Best Animated Short Film. Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with this year's winners, especially since Spike Jonze took home Best Original Screenplay for Her.
