Oscars 2014: the winners in full
Gravity pulls in seven Oscars, but 12 Years a Slave takes best picture at this year’s Academy Awards.
British director Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave has been named best picture at this year’s Oscars, also winning best adapted screenplay and best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong’o. But Alfonso Cuarón’s space thriller Gravity was the night’s biggest winner, taking home seven statuettes. Cuarón’s prize for best director made him the first Latino filmmaker ever to win the award.
The British-made Gravity also won the awards for cinematography, music, editing, sound mixing, sound editing and visual effects.
As expected, Cate Blanchett was named best actress for the title role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, with Dallas Buyers Club nabbing both best actor for Matthew McConaughey and best supporting actor for Jared Leto.
Despite tying with Gravity’s 10 as this year’s most nominated film, American Hustle came away empty handed, becoming the first film to be nominated but lose out in all four acting categories since Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd. in 1951.
The Great Beauty, Paolo Sorrentino’s vivid portrait of life in modern Rome, was named best foreign language film, though The Act of Killing did not take best documentary feature as anticipated. That award was reserved for the US documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, a look at the world of the backing singer.
Amanda Nevill, CEO of the BFI says:
The UK has much to celebrate at this year’s Oscars, and we join the whole British film industry in congratulating Steve McQueen on the awards for his remarkable and important film 12 Years a Slave, and Alfonso Cuarón, whose astonishing Gravity was made right here in the UK.”
She adds:
Our industry continues to punch above its weight, with exceptional creative talent and world-leading practitioners, infrastructure and facilities that prove a draw to filmmakers from around the world, creating jobs and driving inward investment to the UK economy. The success of our filmmaking talent working both in front of and behind the camera is an international validation of how creatively and technically British filmmaking is at the top of its game, and I am so pleased for all the talented people involved in making these wonderful films which have captivated audiences around the world.”
12 Years a Slave, Gravity and 20 Feet from Stardom all received their UK premieres at the 57th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express®.
The winners were announced at a ceremony hosted by Ellen DeGeneres at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
