"When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child, that no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid." - Lupita Nyong'o (Oscar winner, Best Supporting Actress- '12 Years a Slave')
“12 Years A Slave” won best picture at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night, a poignant victory for the harrowing look at slavery in the United States.
“Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live,” said British filmmaker Steve McQueen. “I dedicate this award to all the people who have endured slavery and to those who still suffer in slavery today." Besides best picture, the film received Oscars for John Ridley for adapted screenplay and newcomer Lupita Nyong’o for supporting actress.
