After dominating the awards season, Matthew McConaughey and Cate Blanchett took the top acting prizes Sunday night at the 86 Academy Awards — just like everyone knew they would.
McConaughey won for playing a hard-drinking homophobe who finds out he has AIDS in "Dallas Buyers Club." And Blanchett earned her statuette for her perfomance as a mentally troubled woman in "Blue Jasmine."

Director Alfonso Cuaron also made history at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night, becoming the first Latin American filmmaker to win the Oscar for directing the lost-in-space drama "Gravity."
The film clearly has a hold on the awards. It headed into the Oscar ceremony at the Dolby Theatre with 10 nominations and has dominated the ceremony, winning seven awards. Besides director, "Gravity" won for original score, cinematography, editing, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing. Still to be determined: Will it also earn the marquee trophy for best picture? (Cuaron also shared the editing Oscar with Mark Sanger.)
The other big winners of the night are "Dallas Buyers Club," "Frozen," "12 Years a Slave" and "The Great Gatsby." Each have scored two trophies.

The ceremony marked the end of a Cinderella run for actress Lupita Nyong'o, who won supporting actress for "12 Years a Slave" — her first feature film role. The Kenyan actress' portrayal of the brutalized plantation slave Patsey has earned her glowing reviews, several top honors and transformed her into a red carpet trendsetter.
"This has been the joy of my life," Nyong'o said, breaking into tears at the ceremony. She said poignantly that her happiness had come at the expense of those suffered during the century of slavery in the United States and said she dedicated the honor to children around the world: "No matter where you are from, your dreams are all valid." The cheering, applauding audience gave her a standing ovation. The harrowing drama also earned the Oscar for John Ridley for adapted screenplay.

The social media platform faltered after the host rounded up some of the biggest names in Hollywood — Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper and Brangelina — for a selfie in the hopes of setting a reTweet record. It was perhaps the best example yet of DeGeneres' friendly, folksy and familiar vibe that she's bringing to the show. Another example? Ordering in pizza for the celebs and giving Cooper lottery scratchers as a consolation prize.
Jared Leto, who has won the lion's share of honors this season for supporting actor, received his first Oscar for his stunning performance as a transgender ravaged by AIDS in "Dallas Buyers Club." He delivered a moving — and political — acceptance speech in which he thanked his mother "for teaching me to dream." From there, the acceptance speech turned political, aimed at those struggling in Ukraine and Venezuela: "To all the dreamers around the world watching this tonight ... we are here, and as you struggle to make your dreams happen, to live the impossible, we are thinking of you tonight." Leto, who has received the lion's share of awards this season, also honored the millions who have died of AIDS and those in the transgender community.
The indie drama set at the beginning of the AIDS crisis in 1985 also won makeup and hair styling for Adruitha Lee and Robin Mathews.

"Frozen," which just passed $1 billion worldwide in box office receipts, won animated feature film and best song, for "Let It Go."
It was an especially good night for Catherine Martin. She goes home with two trophies for the 1920s Jazz Age romantic drama "The Great Gatsby," directed by her husband, Baz Luhrmann. She won for costume design and shared the second, for production design, with set decorator Beverley Dunn.
In other awards, "Mr. Hublot" won animated short and live action short film went to "Helium." The first standing ovation of the night went to legendary R&B singer Darlene Love, who is featured in "20 Feet From Stardom," about backup singers trying to make the jump to the spotlight. She performed an acapella "thank you" when the film won for documentary feature. One of the most poignant moments came with the documentary short subject winner, "The Lady in No. 6: Music Saved My Life." The subject of the film, Alice Herz Sommer, the world's oldest pianist and Holocaust survivor, died a week ago at age 110. Spike Jonze won the Oscar for his original screenplay, the quirky romance, "Her."susan.king@latimes.com rene.lynch@latimes.com
