Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen,

will you welcome, the

Oscar-winning Reese Witherspoon.

Thank you so much.

Not since the early days of sound has a

film risked its actors singing live.

But the stellar cast

of this film thrilled

audiences with their

brilliant musicality and

our first nominee for best

picture, "les miserables. "

is "life of pi. "

A triumph combining magical

realism, faith in God

and a crackling narrative to create

one of the most original films of the year.

Our third nominee for best picture proves

that the American dream is still afoot

when an independent film about

a struggling African-American family

can be honored here on this stage tonight.

This film is "beasts of the Southern wild. "

# Sing a song of angry men #

# When the beating of your heartart

echoes the beating of the drums #

# There is a life about to

suffer when com comes #

# Do you hear the people singing #

Behind my family, to indiaia

I soppose the end of all life it was

an act of letting go

but what always hurts the most is not

taking a moment to say good-bye.

I wish I had said it's over. You survived.

Thank you for saving my life.

I loved you.

You'll always be with me.

I see everything that made me

flying around in invisible pieces.

When I look too hard,

it goes away.

But when it all goes quiet,

I see they're right here.

I see that I'm a little piece

of a big, big universe

and that makes things right.

When I die, the scientists

of the future,

they're going to find it all.

They're going to know.

Once there was a hushpuppy and she

lived with her daddy in the bathtub.

There they are. Our first

three best picture nominees

and we have an Oscar

record here at age 9,

quvenzhane Wallis is the

youngest best actress nominee ever.

So let me just address those

of you up for an award,

so you got nominated for an Oscar,

something a 9-year-old could do!

She's adorable, quvenzhane.

She said to me backstage.

I really hope I don't lose

to that old lady, Jennifer Lawrence.

To give you an idea

how young she is

it'll be 16 years before

she's too old for clooney.

Okay. You know what,

I'm sorry about that.

Here, I swiped this from the mini bar.

You can be only guy here who's not buzzed.

Moving on, the avengers was the most -

the avengers was the

most popular movie of the year

which is why it's

only nominated once.

But there's no denying the success

of this film and here they are,

all in one place,

please welcome

Robert downey Jr., Chris Evans,

Jeremy renner,

mark ruffalo and Samuel I.

This justillion dollar franchise

launch trumps best picture nomination.

Wow, let's take a little box office bow.

Thank you very much.

If a film crew is a tribe,

the cinematographer is the shaman,

battling the elements,

working with light and shadow to convey -

that Robert is as tall

as the rest of us

by framing out the apple boxes he

is so often standing on -

or crafting an elegant master

that simultaneously conveys story,

character and height equality.

Yet the true abilities of a

cinematographer are often tested most

when an aging star whose years,

make that decades,

of wanton self-abuse leaves his face

looking like a lunar landing surface.

Excuse me,

are you talking about me or you.

He's talking to you.

In my defense it wasn't decades.

- Maybe for like a decade.

or a quarter century.

Here are the nominees for

achievement in cinematography.

"Anna Karenina," Seamus mcgarvey.

"Django unchained," Robert Richardson.

"Life of pi," Claudio Miranda.

"Lincoln," janusz kaminski.

"Skyfall," Roger deakins.

And the Oscar goes to -

Claudio Miranda, "life of pi. "

This is the first academy award

and nomination for Claudio Miranda
