It was the night the great and good of the movie industry
had been waiting for as the winners of the 87th Annual Academy Awards were
announced in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
Continuing his clean sweep of awards season, emotional Eddie
Redmayne was almost too choked to speak as he picked up Best Actor for his
portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
'Thank you – I don’t I’m capable of articulating quite how I
feel right now but please know this – I am fully aware of that I am lucky,
lucky man,’ he began, clutching his trophy.
This Oscar – wow! –this Oscar, this belongs to all of those
people around the world, battling ALS,’ he added staring at the statuette in
disbelief.
Meanwhile, it might not have swept the board completely, but
Birdman still flew home with the Oscar for Best Picture on the night.
The comedy drama swooped off with a total of four awards on
Sunday night - a number that tied with The Grand Budapest Hotel - including
Best Director and Best Original Screenplay
The 87th annual ceremony favoured niche movies instead of
big box office hits, with films including American Sniper and Wild missing out
on the top prizes.
However, Birdman's lead actor Michael Keaton was beaten to
his Best Actor by Eddie.
