It was a really strong year for film at the Oscars this year. So even where my top choice didn't win, I can't really begrudge the film or person that did.
I saw every Best Picture nominee except for PHILOMENA, and they were all great, with a few (12 YEARS A SLAVE, WOLF OF WALL STREET, HER) being bona-fide 5-star classics. So, I'm fine with 12 YEARS A SLAVE winning, but I think the best of the bunch was THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. That was an astounding film, one of Scorsese's best, and it's one I can see myself returning to and enjoying again and again in the years to come, one that, while divisive now, is going to enter the canon of definitive films of this decade in the future.
Best Actor was possibly the most competitive of all the categories, as every one of those performances was uniformly excellent. Again, Leonardo DiCaprio was my favourite, but I saw Chiwetel Ejiofor right up there with him among the most deserving winners. I'd also put Bruce Dern above McConaughey, but that's no slight on McConaughey, who was also great, so again, I can't begrudge his win.
