LOS ANGELES: Julianne Moore won her first Oscar as best actress for 'Still Alice,' and she shined a light on Alzheimer's disease in her acceptance speech Sunday night.
The 54-year-old actress added an Academy Award to the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild trophies she won earlier for her role as a college linguistics professor who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's.
'I'm so happy, I'm thrilled that we were able to shine a light on Alzheimer's disease,' Moore said. 'So many people who have this disease feel marginalized. People who have Alzheimer's disease deserve to be seen so we can find a cure.'
Moore did four months of research for her role, talking to women with the disease and doctors, and she visited a long-term care facility.
She has been nominated four previous times; this year, she was the front-runner throughout awards season.
Moore was sent on her way to the stage by husband-director Bart Freundlich, who is 45.
'I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer,' she said. 'If that's true, I'd really like to thank the academy because my husband is younger than me.'
Moore won over Marion Cotillard of 'Two Days, One Night'; Felicity Jones from 'The Theory of Everything'; Rosamund Pike of 'Gone Girl'; and Reese Witherspoon of 'Wild.'
LOS ANGELES: 'Birdman' has won the Academy Award for best picture.
The film, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who also won best director, stars Michael Keaton as an aging superhero movie star suffering an identity crisis — and seeking redemption by mounting a serious Broadway play. It's been hailed for its ensemble cast and its virtuosic camera work, which gives the sensation that the whole movie is shot in one continuous take.
The other nominees were: 'American Sniper'; 'Boyhood'; 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'; 'The Imitation Game'; 'Selma'; 'The Theory of Everything'; and 'Whiplash'.

Oscars: Poland's 'Ida' named Best Foreign Language Film
Los
Angeles: Polish drama 'Ida', after scooping the Best Film Not In The
English Language trophy at the BAFTA Awards, Sunday night was named the
Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards ceremony.
Directed by Pawel Pawlikowski, 'Ida' tells the story of a young woman preparing to become a nun, who is sent from her convent home into the secular world to spend several days with her only relative. The trip brings her into contact with experiences outside her sheltered world, and will lead her to knowledge that may shake her sense of her own identity.
The movie was competing in the Best Foreign Language Film category for an Academy Award with nominees including 'Leviathan' (Russia), 'Tangerines' (Estonia), 'Timbuktua (Mauritania) and 'Wild Tales' (Argentina).
India's entry for the category this year was 'Liar's Dice', which failed to make the cut in the short-list. The movie is a road drama about a tribal woman's journey to find her missing husband, is the debut film of Geetu Mohandas. It stars Geetanjali Thapa and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.
India has never won an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The last Indian film that made it to the final five nominees was Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Lagaan' for the 74th Academy Awards in 2003. 'Mother India' and 'Salaam Bombay' are the other two Indian films to have made it to the top five.

LOS ANGELES: J. K. Simmons and Patricia Arquette won their first Academy Awards here Sunday night when they were bestowed with the Best Performance by an Actor and Actress in Supporting Role for their work in 'Whiplash' and 'Boyhood' respectively.

Arquette's portrayal of a divorced mother struggling to make a life for herself and her two children, pipped other nominees like Laura Dern for 'Wild', Keira Knightley for 'The Imitation Game', Emma Stone for 'Birdman' and Meryl Streep for 'Into the Woods'.
