2014 Academy Awards

Congratulations to Lupita Nyong’o for winning the Oscar for her work 12 Years a Slave.

The 2014 86th Annual Academy Awards was filled with pleasantly surprises, with host Ellen DeGeneres doing a wonderful job hosting the show that ran for three hours and 35 minutes.  Actress Lupita Nyong’o took home the Oscar for her role as a slave named Patsey, in 12 Years a  Slave.

12 Years A Salve, is the true story of Solomon Northup, who was once a free-born black man, kidnapped and was forced into slavery for 12 years. Excitedly it also won Best Screenplay and Best Picture!

One of the highlights of the night was when host Ellen De Generous took a selfie group picture with several actors, that included: Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Lupita Nyong’or, and Jennifer Williams garnering Two Million re-tweets! This literally had Twitter shut down for awhile.  Over all it was a stellar night!

  1. I enjoyed this post

  2. The slavery drama 12 Years a Slave won the Academy Award for best picture, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry’s highest honour in 86 years of the Oscars.
    I am so tired to Hollywood trying to make me feel bad about slavery that happened over 150 years ago, but guess what I don’t as the great great great grandson of slave owners that was their decision. Hollywood is always trying to rewrite history, slavery right or wrong at that time was a way of life. Its over get over it Hollywood.
