Assignment 4: Podcast

Good afternoon, this is Emily McNally with your academy awards wrap-up. This past Sunday marked the 86th Academy Awards with Ellen DeGeneres as the host. Ellen was up to her normal silly self poking fun at certain celebs as usual.  She even ended up breaking twitter as she posted the most epic selfie later in the night with stars like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep who were included in the photo. The show itself wasn't too much of a surprise concerning the winners. Gravity took home seven awards in the technical category including best director, cinematorgraphy and score. Dallas Buyers Club also did well taking home three awards including Best Actor awarded to Matthew McConaughey who beat out crowd favorite Leonardo DiCaprio who has been nominated four times before and lost everytime. The big winner for the night was 12 Years a Slave winning three awards including the highest honor for Best Picture. It also won best supporting actress for the stunning Lupita Nyong'o, a star to watch. Well this has been it for this segment, tune in next time for the next wrap up.
