Argo di Ben Affleck, prodotto assieme a Grant Heslov e George Clooney, è il miglior film dell’anno. Ma è Vita di Pi ad uscire alla grande dalla cerimonia degli oscar con 4 premi, compreso quello per la miglior regia, andato ad Ang Lee.
Spielberg si deve accontentare del premio a Daniel Day Lewis, mentre Jennifer Lawrence è la migliore attrice dell’anno per Il lato positivo.
Due premi a Django Unchained: migliore sceneggiatura e miglior attore non protagonista per Christoph Waltz, che bissa il successo di Bastardi senza gloria.
Amour di Haneke vince tra i film stranieri e Brave – Ribelle tra le animazioni. Les Misèrables conquista tre riconoscimenti per Anne Hathaway, il make-up ed il sonoro, mentre Adele si porta a casa l’Oscar per la miglior canzone, Skyfall.
Ecco il discorso di Ben Affleck:
I was here 15 years ago or something, and I had no idea what I was doing. I was sitting out here in front of you all, really just a kid, and I went out and I never thought that I would be back here, and I am because of so many of you who are here tonight, because of this Academy, because of so many wonderful people who extended themselves to me when they had nothing to benefit from it…I want to thank them and I want to thank what they taught me which is that you have to work harder than you think you possibly can, you can’t hold grudges, it’s hard but you can’t hold grudges. And it doesn’t matter how you get knocked down in life, cause that’s gonna happen, all that matters is that you gotta get up
