The 87th Academy Awards were held on Sunday, February 22 at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The event celebrated a year of cinematography, awarding winners of each respected category with what is officially called an Academy Award of Merit, or more commonly known as an “Oscar.”
Winners included Eddie Redmayne (Actor in a Leading Role), Julianne Moore (Actress in a Leading Role), J.K. Simmons (Actor in a Supporting Role), and Patricia Arquette (Actress in a Supporting Role), while "Birdman: or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance" won Best Picture and "Big Hero 6" won best Animated Feature Film.
“I was happy Eddie Redmayne won (Best Actor)” said Hannah Alimajstorovic, a University of the Cumberlands freshman and frequent Academy Awards follower. “He deserved an Oscar because he’s done too many good movies to ignore.”

“I was disappointed Patricia Arquette won (Actress in supporting Role),” said Marie
Bozeman, a freshman at UC interested in entering the entertainment business as a producer after undergrad. “I was going for Meryl (Streep) or Keira (Knightley) to win because they both have a better foundation of acting.”
