The 86th Annual Academy Awards has closed its curtains with big wins for "12 Years a Slave," "Gravity," and "Dallas Buyers Club."

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_921">
The frontrunners came through in 
what played out as one of the most predictable Academy Awards ever, with
 Steve McQueen's powerful drama "12 Years a Slave" taking home the Best 
Picture Oscar and "Gravity" helmer Alfonso Cuarón winning Best Director.</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_940">
"Thank you for this incredible 
honor to be bestowed on our film tonight," said "12 Years a Slave" 
producer Brad Pitt before introducing the film's director, "the 
indomitable Steve McQueen," who said the most important message of 
Solomon Northop's story is it's "not just important to survive, but to 
live."</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_946" style="text-align: center;">
<strong id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_945"><br /></strong></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_951">
Cuarón's Best Director win marked 
the leading seventh Oscar of the night for his sci-fi epic, following a 
sweep in the technical awards (Cinematography, Editing, Visual Effects, 
Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing; it also won for Score) in a landmark 
night for a much-maligned genre. "Gravity" has much rewritten the book 
on cinematic spectacle, taking Hollywood technical innovation to amazing
 new heights — all the way up to outer space.</div>

</div>
The top acting prizes, meanwhile, went to the heavily favored Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club"), Cate Blanchett (Best Actress for "Blue Jasmine"), Jared Leto (Best Supporting Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club"), and Lupita Nyong'o (Best Supporting Actress for "12 Years a Slave").
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_966">
McConaughey's seething portrayal 
of Ron Woodroof, a hard-living electrician turned revolutionary drug 
smuggler and distributor after being diagnosed with AIDS, proved that 
complete and total dedication to a role — which included losing over 47 
pounds — can most definitely pay off.</div>
"All of these performances were impeccable, I didn't see a false note
 in them," said McConaughey of his fellow Best Actor nominees before 
thanking God, his late father, his present-in-the-audience mother, his 
two older brothers, his wife, Camila — and his kids, whom he 
acknowledges as the people he wants to make "the most proud of me."<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
And yes, McConaughey closed his speech with his signature line, "All 
right, all right, all right," to the delight of the audience.<br />

<i>Cate Blanchett (Lucy Nicholson/REUTERS)</i></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
Cate
 Blanchett took home the Best Actress Oscar for her performance as a 
woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown (or five) in Woody Allen's 
"Blue Jasmine." Blanchett took pretty much every emotion — and perhaps 
even invented a few new ones — to glorious extremes in Allen's 
bittersweet valentine to the 1 percent.
<br />
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_972">
The ever-classy Blanchett gave 
kudos to her fellow nominees (including the absent Judi Dench) and 
thanked her writer-director, Woody Allen — and the "audiences who went 
to see [the film]," proving to Hollywood that "films with female leads 
make money" and that "the world is round, people."</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_977">
The night's first big winner was 
McConaughey's "Dallas Buyers Club" co-star Leto, who snagged the Oscar 
for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Rayon, Ron Woodroof's 
transvestite business partner and confidant.</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_989">
Leto began his speech with a 
shout-out to his date for the night, his mother, and finished with a nod
 to the civil unrest around the world. "I just want to say, I love you, 
Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream. ... To all the dreamers out 
there around the world watching this tonight in places like the Ukraine 
and Venezuela, I want to say we are here and as you struggle to … to 
make your dreams happen, to live the impossible. ... We're thinking of 
you tonight."</div>
<span class="yui-media yui-editorial-embed" id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_996" style="height: 354px; width: 630px;"></span>

Backstage, he allowed the journalists in the interview room to touch his trophy after making sure "no one has swine flu."</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_1002">
Jennifer Lawrence didn't have to 
worry about tripping on the stairs for a second time, as the Oscar for 
Best Supporting Actress went to Lupita Nyong'o for her performance in 
"12 Years a Slave." Nyong'o stunned audiences with her portrayal of 
Patsey, the young female slave who befriends Solomon Northop (Chiwetel 
Ejiofor) and endures the cruel "attentions" of plantation owner Edwin 
Epps (Michael Fassbender). <br /><br />"YES!" exclaimed Nyong'o as she took 
the stage to a rousing ovation, saluting the story of Patsey and giving 
thanks to her director, Steve McQueen, tearfully revealing that the "12 
Years a Slave" experience has been "the joy of her life." She also 
referred to Michael Fassbender as her "rock" and thanked her family (and
 the Yale School of Drama) for their "training."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span class="yui-media yui-editorial-embed" style="height: 354px; width: 630px;"></span></strong></div>
<strong><br /></strong>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nyong'o is well on her way to becoming a 
full-throttle Hollywood star as she has a featured role in this 
weekend's box-office winner (and latest Liam Neeson actioner), 
"Non-Stop."</div>
"12 Years a Slave" also took home the Oscar for Best Adapted 
Screenplay, with writer John Ridley tearfully acknowledging his 
beginnings as a sitcom writer before thanking the cast, crew and his own
 family for the opportunity to tell Northop's story on the big screen.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
Other writing honors went to Spike Jonze, who won Best Original 
Screenplay for "Her," the near-future sci-fi fable chronicling the 
unorthodox but completely believable and insightful romance between a 
letter writer (Joaquin Phoenix) and his highly advanced computer 
operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). There have been 
speculations that "Her" was inspired by Jonze's difficult breakup with 
fellow Oscar winner Sofia Coppola — if only all divorces could find 
closure with Oscar wins.<br />

Other major awards: The Disney mega-hit "Frozen" predictably walked 
away with Best Animated Feature and beat U2 for Best Original Song with 
"Let It Go." The win made one of the song's co-writers, Robert Lopez, 
the youngest member of the EGOT club, adding Oscar to previous Emmy, 
Grammy and Tony wins.<br />

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_1026">
The ode to backup singers "20 
Feet From Stardom" took Best Documentary (with a speech capped off by an
 impromptu a capella by one of the film's great subjects, Darlene Love),
 and Italy's "The Great Beauty" won Best Foreign-Language Film.</div>
Somewhat surprisingly, "The Great Gatsby" took home the two Oscars 
for which it was nominated: Costume Design and Production Design. As of 
the 2:20 mark in the ceremony, that was more Oscar wins than either 
"American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave," which were also nominated in 
those categories.<br />

The night's biggest dud? "American Hustle," which had 10 nominations,
 including Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay and all four 
acting categories — and zero wins.<br />

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1393853693838_1050">
The night opened with a bang with
 host Ellen DeGeneres's opening monologue, which acknowledged L.A.'s 
rather bizarre recent rainy weather ("Thank you for your prayers") and 
featured some playful pokes at the Hollywood elite that made up the 
audience, including pointing out the general lack of college graduates 
in the room and reminding Lawrence of her now-infamous tripping as she 
walked up the stairs to accept her Best Actress Oscar last year (a 
"stunt" J.Law recreated as she got out of the car upon arriving at the red carpet this year).</div>
