Spread the wealth - that's what the Academy voters did with the 2013 Oscar winners. Hosted by Seth MacFarlane who had occasional moments of brilliance, the 85th Academy Awards found just about every major release taking home a golden statuette. Among the major surprises were wins by Christoph Waltz and Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained (surprise wins, but definitely worthy choices).
And a bit of trivia: All of the nominees in the Best Supporting Actors are past Oscar winners. And in the Best Actress category, Emmanuelle Riva from Amour is the oldest nominee in history while Quvenzhané Wallis is the youngest. Silver Linings Playbook made recent Oscar history by earning nominations in all the available acting categories, marking the first time in 31 years that's occurred.
