Aside from the show, the Oscars were pretty great this year — an unexpected horse race between Gravity and 12 Years a Slave, with American Hustle left scoreless by the side of the track. Here’s my Monday-morning analysis of the event.
Oh, and in other heartening news: Non-Stop won the box-office weekend, earning $30 million to relegate Son of God to second place with $26.5 million and knocking The Lego Movie down to third with $21 after three weeks at the top. (I don’t think Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were too upset about relinquishing the throne, with a domestic gross of $209 million and counting.)
So, yeah. That went well for everybody.
