On Sunday night, at the 85th Academy Awards
ceremony, now officially called The Oscars, Argo won the Best
Picture award. “It doesn’t matter how you get knocked down in life,” said Ben Affleck, the movie’s star, director and
co-producer, as if channeling Rocky Balboa. “All that matters is that you get
up.”
British actor Daniel Day-Lewis became the first
person to win three best actor awards, taking the trophy for his monumental
performance as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War saga "Lincoln."
"Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence
triumphed in Hollywood's big games, winning the best actress as a damaged soul
in "Silver Linings Playbook," while Taiwanese director Ang Lee pulled
off a huge upset as best director for "Life of Pi."
Anne went from propping up leaden sidekick James
Franco as a presenter at last year's Academy Awards to hefting a golden statue
of her own with a supporting-actress Oscar win as a doomed
mother-turned-prostitute in the musical "Les Miserables."
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won his second
supporting-actor Oscar for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty
hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained." Tarantino also
won his second Oscar, for original screenplay for "Django."
Ang Lee pulled off a major upset, won best director
for the shipwreck story "Life of Pi," taking the prize over Steven Spielberg,
who had been favored for "Lincoln."
