In a remarkably bland evening, Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave won three Oscars®, including Best Picture and Supporting Actress, Lupita Nyong’o; Gravity won seven, including Best Director, Alfonso Cuaron, and a host of technical awards, and Dallas Buyers Blub took three including Best Actor, Matthew McConaughey, and Supporting Actor, Jared Leto. Disney’s Get a Horse was upset in the Animated Short Category, while Frozen won Best Animated Feature and Best Song.
Ellen DeGeneres was, in effect, the anti-Seth MacFarlane, with an uninspiring, watered down monologue and only one or two genuinely funny bits during the ceremony – but she does make a cute, orange Glinda. For a complete list of winners, follow the jump.
