Last night the world sat down to watch the biggest award show ever, The Oscars. Hosted by Seth MacFarlane, the show featured some incredibly talented people who were nominated for various awards.
Among those nominated were one of our favourite leading ladies, Jennifer Lawrence who was up for the Best Actress award, Daniel-Day Lewis who was up for best actor for his amazing portrayal as President Lincoln, the visually stunning LIFE OF PI for best picture and Steven Spielberg.
It was a night of laughs and good times, and saw some surprising wins along with some not-so-surprising ones, too. One of the most surprising wins was Jennifer Lawrence who took home the Oscar for Best Actress for her work in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. She was up against big names such as Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain.
Unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-Lewis walked away with the Oscar for Best Actor, making this the third time he’s won the award making him the first actor ever to earn the honour three times. Only eight other actors have received two awards in their careers, meaning Day-Lewis is now in a league of his own!
Disney’s beautiful and memorable short film PAPERMAN won the award for Best Short Film and Disney and Pixar’s BRAVE took home the award for Best Animated Film, leaving fellow contenders WRECK-IT RALPH and PARANORMAN in the dust.
The biggest surprise of the night was when Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN lost the Best Picture awards to Ben Affleck’s ARGO. Affleck’s suspenseful and artfully done movie about a CIA and Hollywood secretly rescue six American diplomats from Iran had been pretty much snubbed until its shocking and well deserved win last night.
Other winners included Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor, Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress and Adele for her song, “Skyfall.”
