The Something-For-Everyone Oscars
If some were expecting a sweep of the major acting categories by one film, they were disappointed in last night's Oscars. Each major category was won by an actor in a different film: Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis for "Lincoln," Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook," Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz for "Django Unchained", and Best Supporting Actress Ann Hathaway for "Les Miserables." Best Film went to "Argo," and Best Director went to Ang Lee for "Life of Pi."
A very human moment occurred when our favorite, Jennifer Lawrence, stumbled on her way up the steps to accept her Oscar. She recovered gracefully and joked that the standing ovation she received was out of sympathy for the stumble. Pure class.
