Oscars winners
The 86th annual Academy Awards featured snubs, surprises and laughs courtesy of host Ellen DeGeneres. Hollywood “it’ girl Lupita Nyong’o who stunned in ice blue Prada, took home Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years a Slave, while Cate Blanchett’s portrayal in Blue Jasmine landed her Best Actress.
Gravity dominated, taking home seven trophies, but lost to 12 Years a Slave for Best Picture. In a shocking twist American Hustle, which was nominated for 10 awards, was completely snubbed.
