2013 Academy Awards Results

Life of Pi led the way with the most Oscar wins (four) but it was Argo that walked away with the big prize. Despite snubbing director Ben Affleck with no nomination Argo won Best Picture while Ang Lee walked away with Best Director. No big surprises in the acting categories as Daniel Day-Lewis and Jennifer Lawrence took the top honors.
