12 Years a Slave won Best Picture

Kenyan actress, Lupita Nyong’o, on Sunday won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 12 Years A Slave.

The 30 year-old style icon and breakout star, who previously won the Screen Actors Guild Awards, was congratulated by Kenya President, Uhuru Kenyatta, via Twitter.

Accepting her award, Nyong’o paid tribute to her character, Patsey, a slave in 1840s Louisiana.

“It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is because of so much pain in someone else’s,” she said.

Also nominated for an Academy Award, also called Oscar, was British actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, for 12 Years A Slave. The critically acclaimed movie about a free man, Solomon Northup, who became a slave for 12 years before being rescued by friends, took home the Oscar for Best Picture.

The Best Actor statuette went to Mathew McConaghuey for Dallas Buyers Club while Australian Cate Blanchette won Best Actress for Blue Jasmine. Jared Leto won Best Supporting Actor for his role as a transgendered AIDS victim in Dallas Buyers Club. Best Director went to Alfonso Cuaron for Gravity. Gravity which starred Sandra Bullock and George Clooney got the highest number of awards – seven; including original score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing, cinematography, film editing.

The awards ceremony was hosted by talk show host, Ellen Degeneres, who set a social media record with a celebrity-filled selfie that was retweeted over 1 million times. It beat the previous record – over 800, 000 set by Barack Obama’s Four more years.
