'Argo' wins best picture at the Oscar
On Sunday night, at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony, now officially called The Oscars, Argo won the Best Picture award. “It doesn’t matter how you get knocked down in life,” said Ben Affleck, the movie’s star, director and co-producer, as if channeling Rocky Balboa. “All that matters is that you get up.”
British actor Daniel Day-Lewis became the first person to win three best actor awards, taking the trophy for his monumental performance as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War saga "Lincoln."
"Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence triumphed in Hollywood's big games, winning the best actress as a damaged soul in "Silver Linings Playbook," while Taiwanese director Ang Lee pulled off a huge upset as best director for "Life of Pi."
Anne went from propping up leaden sidekick James Franco as a presenter at last year's Academy Awards to hefting a golden statue of her own with a supporting-actress Oscar win as a doomed mother-turned-prostitute in the musical "Les Miserables."
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won his second supporting-actor Oscar for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained." Tarantino also won his second Oscar, for original screenplay for "Django."
Ang Lee pulled off a major upset, won best director for the shipwreck story "Life of Pi," taking the prize over Steven Spielberg, who had been favored for "Lincoln."
