THE FRESH FILMS FOLLOWS THE OSCARS

The 86th Academy Awards Even though 12 Years a Slave took home the most coveted award, Gravity still ended up as the night's winner in a way, raking in 7 awards, including Best Director. Ellen DeGeneres balanced a fitting line between crisp and dignified as the host, and made the 86th Academy Awards far from the worst. Best acceptance speech: Lupita Nyong'o Most deserved award: Gravity for Best Visual Effects
