The film 12 years of slave to British director Steve
McQueen won the Oscar for best picture at the ceremony held by the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood, Los Angeles late Sunday night.
And it became the first film directed by a black director to
win this award since the 86-year-old.
The film revolves around slavery in the period before the
American Civil War and is adapted from a true story of a man who is kidnapped
and sold him to work in the plantations, Louisiana, United States.
The film won two other Oscar awards for best supporting
actress obtained by the emerging Kenyan actress Lupita Naoonju (31 years), who
has the role of Patsy, a slave to work sooner. This is the first time that the
Naoonju wins an Oscar.
The other award won by the film is the prize for best
adapted screenplay and adaptation of Solomon Northrup diary.
McEwen said when receiving the award, "Everyone
deserves not only to survive but to live. This is the most important thing for
us was succeeded by Solomon Northrup.
The Kenyan actress said -who has played a slave- that was
gathering the largest amount of cotton compared to her colleagues but despite
that she was suffering at the hands of her master "did not lose even for a
moment that the blessing of joy in my life is thanks to the shelf human being
other than pain, therefore I want to salute the spirit of Patsy because she
guided me.”
The superiority of the film (12 years of slavery) on the
space adventure film ( Gravity ), which revolves around astronaut struggling
to survive after its separation from the Space Shuttle and in which Sandra
Bullock and George Clooney play a starring role.
