John Legend, Common win Oscars for Selma song

Singer, John Legend and rapper, Common, won Oscars for Best Original Song at the 87th Academy Awards which took place in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The song, Glory, was on the soundtrack of the Martin Luther King biopic, Selma.

Other winners at the award show were British actor, Eddie Redmayne, who won Best Actor for his role in The Theory of Everything – a biopic on the physicist, Stephen Hawking; Julianne Moore won Best Actress (Still Alice), Patricia Arquette, Best Supporting Actress (Boyhood), and J.K. Simmons, Best Supporting Actor (Whiplash).

Best Picture went to Birdman directed by Alexandro Inarritu, which also won Best Cinematography and Best Original Screenplay.

This year’s Academy Awards was criticised for its lack of diversity. For the first time in years, no minority actor/actress was nominated in the acting categories.

The award show was hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
