The 85th Annual Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2012 and took place February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The ceremony was televised in the United States on ABC. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was the host the Academy Awards for the first time.
For the first time in the history of the awards, the Best Supporting Actor category consists only of previous winners. Alan Arkin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christoph Waltz have each won Best Supporting Actor; Phillip Seymour Hoffman has won Best Actor; and Robert De Niro has won in both award categories. Another interesting fact, “Silver Linings Playbook” became the first film in 31 years to receive nominations in all four acting categories; the last film to do so was “Reds” in 1981.
“Life of Pi” won four awards (the most for the evening), including Best Director for Ang Lee, and “Argo” won three awards, including Best Picture. “Les Misérables” also won three awards; “Django Unchained”, “Lincoln”, and “Skyfall” won two awards each. Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress award for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook”, and proved the second youngest winner in the category. Daniel Day-Lewis won a third Best Actor award (the most for any actor) for portraying the titular character in “Lincoln”
