Oscars 2015 results: And the Oscar goes to…

There were not a lot of surprises at this year’s 87th Academy Awards, but there were certainly a lot of firsts.

All four acting award winners took home their first Oscars. Best Actress winner Julianne Moore, in particular, finally won her first Academy Award after five nominations. Eddie Redmayne, at 33 years of age, is the eighth youngest Best Actor winner of all time, and the first to break into the 10 youngest winners list since Adrien Brody became the youngest winner in 2002, a title he still retains today. All four acting category winners took home their first Oscar.

Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel were the biggest winnrs of the night, tying for the most nominations (9) and for the most wins (4). Birdman was arguably the more successful of the two, taking home two major awards; Best Picture and Best Director.
