Gravity vs American Hustle<\/strong><\/p>

Given that both movies were winners in many ways: box office success, a unanimous positive critical response, and nominations with a vengeance, we expected a fierce battle for the\u00a0Oscars<\/a> where the two giants claimed 10 categories each. Director David O. Russell probably thought of reaping a harvest of rewards (7 nominations last year to Happiness Therapy) with American Hustle<\/em> but he was not counting on Gravity<\/em> to dominate the Oscars last night - neither did we.<\/p>

The space blockbuster orchestrated by Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n (director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men<\/em>) has been awarded seven Oscars, including Best Director, while David O. Russell's team bagged none. He reassures his popularity has not been chipped though, quite the contrary!<\/p>

Meryl Streep gives way to Cate Blanchett<\/strong><\/p>

With Dallas Buyers Club<\/em>, Mathew McConaughey took sweet revenge on Hollywood yesterday. After his stints in sweet but stereotypical\u00a0romantic comedies<\/a>, recently the extent of his talent was witnessed. This time, he gave us goosebumps in the role of a homophobic cowboy diagnosed with HIV. His subtle and well-balanced performance earned him the Best Actor Oscar, leaving Leonardo DiCaprio to bite the dust, again.<\/p>

Meryl Streep, the real record woman of nominations (18 to her name by the way!) bowed to the majestic Cate Blanchett for her remarkable Blue Jasmine<\/em> performance directed by Woody Allen. After a few disappointments, the Australian actress finally wins for her role as a twisted and highly neurotic New York \u00a0socialite who loses it all and struggles with facing her new reality. A role she embodied perfectly and without the slightest fault.<\/p>

Ellen's antics and THAT epic selfie<\/strong><\/p>

But apart from winners and losers, the Oscars this year witnessed many light-hearted and funny moments - a \u00a0lot of them thanks to host Ellen Degeneres who stroke a chord with the audiences and celebrities alike.<\/p>

A funny joke of ordering pizza to the 'hungry crowds' turned hilarious incident when the pizza delivery guy turned on stage to deliver it to the stars - many of whom tucked into a slice or two.<\/p>

The memorable GIF of our favourite girl Jennifer Lawrence chewing on her pizza like no one is watching while someone was giving a speech took the internet by storm. So did her GIF when she fell the minute she got on the red carpet. Something she is now infamous for.<\/p>

All in all, it was probably the most tame yet funny Oscars we had in a while! So congrats to Ellen and to all the winners. We can't wait for next year!<\/p>
