The 86th Annual Academy Awards, also known as The Oscars, honored achievements and broke records. The host, Ellen DeGeneres, even shared pizza with the audience March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

It was a much friendlier show compared to the raunchiness of last year’s show, hosted by Seth MacFarlane, but itwasn’t without humor.

“It’s like ‘The Hunger Games.’ There are cameras everywhere, people are starving and Jennifer Lawrence won last year,” said DeGeneres at the start of the show.

During the show, DeGeneres broke the record for most retweets ever with a selfie of herself and many of the nominees.

The show featured presenters who were Oscar winners, nominees or major presences on the Hollywood scene, including Anne Hathaway, Samuel L. Jackson, Naomi Watts, Sally Field, Emma Watson, Bradley Cooper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Benedict Cumberbatch.

This year’s race for Best Picture was incredibly close according to members of the Academy, with films like “Captain Phillips,” the true tale of a man captured by Somali pirates and the desperate actions he took to escape, “Gravity,” a stressful, visceral look at the dangers of space, “Dallas Buyers Club,” a harrowing tale about a man pushed to his breaking point when he learns he has contracted AIDS, “Philomena,” the true story about a mother’s search for her long lost son; and “12 Years A Slave,” a story of survival as told by Solomon Northup, a free man forced into slavery in Georgia.

“12 Years A Slave,” directed by Steve McQueen, won Best Picture and also won for Best Adapted Screenplay. Lupita Nyong’o won Best Supporting Actress for “12 Years A Slave.”

The Oscar for Best Actor went to Matthew McConaughey for his role in “Dallas Buyers Club,” and the Oscar for Best Actress went to Cate Blanchett for her role in “Blue Jasmine.”

Jared Leto won Best Supporting Actor for “Dallas Buyers Club.”

The big winners of the night were “Gravity,” which took home seven Oscars, including Best Visual Effects and Best Director, and Disney’s “Frozen,” which took home Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Let It Go.”

Lupita Nyong’o summed up the night when she said, “When I look down at this little golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.”
