LOS ANGELES (AP) – Seth MacFarlane didn’t go soft during his first turn as Oscars host, with jokes about domestic violence, breast-baring actresses and the Lincoln assassination. In spite of his good looks and suave manner, he was a nontraditional choice for the job, as the maker of the TV show “Family Guy” and the movie “Ted.” During a long opening monologue, MAcfarlane brought on William Shatner, playing a time-traveling Captain Kirk trying to save MacFarlane from himself. MacFarlane expected groans. He had predicted for weeks that he’d be savaged by the critics.

OSCAR NIGHT: THE BIG WINNERS

jennifer-lawrence-oscars-press-room-photos-2013

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A film about a fake movie, has earned best picture at the Academy Awards. Ben Affleck’s Iran-hostage drama “Argo” won three trophies in all. First lady Michelle Obama helped present the final prize from the White House. Affleck failed to get a nomination for best director. But said he was in good company with other directors who were also left out. Oscar voters spread the honors among a range of films. “Life of Pi” led with four, including best director, Ang Lee.

Daniel Day-Lewis has made Oscar history by becoming the first to win three best actor Oscars. As expected, he won for his portrayal of “Lincoln,” adding to the honors he earned for “My Left Foot” and “There Will Be Blood.” Asked what kind of role he wanted to play next, he said backstage, “It’s hard to imagine doing anything after this.” The best actress winner was also no surprise — Jennifer Lawrence at 22, is the second-youngest woman to win best actress. Her Dion gown gave her an “oops” moment — tripping her as she made her way up the steps to the stage. As the crowd gave her a standing ovation, Lawrence joked, “You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell.”

Christoph Waltz knows who to thank for his Oscars. His second best supporting actor Oscar came for his role in another Quentin Tarantino movie, “Django Unchained.” Waltz also offered gracious thanks to his supporting-actor competition, all of whom are previous Oscar winners. Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones had gotten much of the buzz in the category. “It came true,” were Anne Hathaway’s first words in accepting her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for “Les Miserables.” She got emotional backstage, in explaining that she had a dream that she would win.
