As expected, the two films which had garnered the maximum Odcar nominations (9 each) took away the maximum Oscars in the glittering ceremony held in Los Angeles. Birdman won the coveted Best Picture and Best Director Oscar along with Cinematography, and Original Screenplay. Wes Anderson's TheGrand Budapest Hotel took away Costume Design, Makeup, Production design and Score. The two Fox movies are at the top of the academy league table, with both movies currently in theatres for Indian fans!!
