The 87th Annual Academy Awards Winners List

Hello everyone!

It’s me, thefakesamjoseph and this morning I bring you news of last night’s incredible and star studded 87th Annual Academy Awards, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. Hollywood’s biggest night was nothing short of amazing, from the red carpet fashion, to the performances, to the awards themselves. Some of the the best moments from the night include host Neil Patrick Harris’s opening performance, an entertaining and well executed tribute to all the films that were nominated last night, Patricia Arquette’s incredible acceptance speech calling for equal wages for women, John Legend and Common performing their awe inspiring “Glory”, and Lady Gaga’s Sound of Music Tribute culminating with an emotional embrace with the one and only, Julie Andrews.

Before treating you to the list of winners, I’d like to take a few moments to share my top three fashion favorites from last night. While the night was full of stellar looks from Hollywood’s starlets, in my opinion, these three ladies stopped the show before it even started. In no particular order the best dressed of the night were Chrissy Teigan in Zuhair Murad, Rosamund Pike in Givenchy, and Lupita Nyong’o in custom Calvin Klein. Bravo to these stunning ladies in successfully, and unsurprisingly, turning heads with their ensembles last night. To see more red carpet fashion and to make your own picks for best looks of the night, head over to oscar.go.com/redcarpet.

Now with the fashion highlights out of the way, let’s move on to the list of winners. Many surprising wins occurred last night, including Eddie Redmayne’s win for Best Actor for his work in “The Theory of Everything” as opposed to expected winner Michael Keaton for his work in “Birdman”, and “Birdman” winning best Picture over expected winner “Boyhood”. Once again, Hollywood’s biggest night has passed, but rest assured, they will come again next year and you can be sure that Black Chick Media and I will gladly keep you updated. Until next year!

Hello everyone!

It’s thefakesamjoseph here and I’ve come with the official 72nd annual Golden Globes Winner’s list!
