Gravity dominated last night’s Oscars (March 2) after taking home seven awards.
The sci-fi drama was the big winner at the 86th Academy Awards, with Alfonso Cuaron taking home the Best Director prize and a bevy of other gongs including Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Original Score and Editing.
However, it lost out on the Best Picture prize to Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave. McQueen’s film, based on the memoirs of Solomon Northup, also won Best Adapted Screenplay while Lupita Nyong’o was named Best Supporting Actress.
Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, while Dallas Buyers Club boasted two acting awards: Matthew McConaughey won the Best Actor prize, while his co-star and 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto took home the statuette for Best Supporting Actor.
