Academy Awards 2015 was a night of suspense , wage equality and appreciation of the " Mexicano talent".
The much awaited suspense over the best picture ended when the dark comedy Birdman won the best picture. The Academy was highly criticized for lack of diversity this year.
Neil Patrick Harris hit the controversy right at the beginning: "Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry, brightest.”
The Academy took steps Sunday to quiet the criticism  fueled by the snub of “Selma” in the directing and acting categories — over a lack of diversity among its membership voters. Among the black stars lined up to present were Terrence Howard, Kevin Hart, Oprah Winfrey, Zoe Saldana and Viola Davis. The musical performers included Common, John Legend and Jennifer Hudson.
Lego Oscars were presented to many attendees somewhat a sarcastic act in reference  to the omission of Lego Movie from the list of best animated movie nominations.
We already knew from the recent leaked Sony Pictures e-mails that women were paid less than their male counterparts ......supporting-actress winner Patricia Arquette, who played a struggling single mother in Boyhood, took that issue to heart and to the podium "We have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's time to have wage equality," Arquette said in her acceptance speech, calling for "equal rights for women in the United States of America".

The Mexican cinematographer Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki became the first to win best cinematography twice in a row.

Best documentary went to “Citizenfour,” director Laura Poitras’ feature about National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, the former government contractor who leaked government "s secrets .
