Who received the Oscar in 2014 for Best Actor? The winner was Matthew McConaughey, brilliantly playing the role of cowboy Ron Woodrof, suffering from HIV.

The best of the best is the cruel story of a slave musician
In the category “best film”, a serious struggle unfolded between the box office paintings of the year:
- Gravity
- "12 years of slavery";
- "Captain Phillips";
- "Nebraska;"
- "The wolf of Wall Street".
Despite the magnificent scenario of each picture, the historical film “12 Years of Slavery” about a free musician who suffered the cruel fate of a slave, rightfully earned the title “Best Film of 2014”. The film received an Oscar in other nominations: for best supporting actress and excellent script. The film was previously awarded the Golden Globe Award as the best dramatic film in history .
The cruel story of a dark-skinned slave wrested victory from an equally serious contender for an Oscar - a fantastic painting by Alfonso Cuarono “Gravity”, which, according to film critics, has an ideal script and is highly praised by the world press. However, the work on the film did not go unnoticed, “Gravity” was awarded seven awards for best directing, special effects, editing and operator work.
Oscar for the best embodiment of the image of a tantrum
The 2014 Oscar nominees for the honorary title of "Best Actress" were presented by prominent actresses. This is Amy Adams, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Judy Dench.
Who received the Oscar in 2014 for Best Actress? The golden statuette was awarded to Cate Blanchett for the role of the charming tantrum Jasmine in the movie of the same name by Woody Allen, overtaking Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep in the extramural race. The dramatic film "Jasmine" brought the actress a second statuette and a sixth nomination for the entire acting career. Kate was awarded the first Oscar for her brilliant supporting role in the film Aviator.
Extraordinary Love Story Award
The prestigious film award for the most original plot was received by Spike Jones for the non-standard script of the film "She."
Fantastic melodrama, awarded the highest score for a convincing picture of the future, which does not show the usual characters for us, saving the world from ethereal monsters or atomic catastrophes, and describes the virtual, romantic relationship of a writer of personal letters and an operating system endowed with artificial intelligence and able to speak. The deep meaning of the film with the ending, leaving room for thought, was also awarded the Golden Globe Award.
After it became known who received the Oscar in 2014, it is difficult to determine what the judges were guided by, because each of the nominated paintings and all the talented applicants for the title of “Best Role” equally deserved a golden figurine. But anyway, the names of the winners are named, and we recommend that those who have not had time to watch the films that participated in the struggle for the Oscars do not waste time in vain, it’s worth it!
