The 2014 Oscars was watched
by millions of viewers worldwide. All movie watchers were captivated waiting to
see if their favorite celebrities would take home the coveted and prestigious
Academy Award. It was a great night for Latinos as Alfonso Cuarón, Lupita
Nyong'o and Emmanuel Lubezki picked up accolades for their work in film. The
latter won an Oscar for Achievement In Cinematography for the Warner Bros.
produced flick "Gravity," while Nyong'o took home the Best Supporting
Actress for her performance on "12 Years A Slave."
The big winner of the night
was Cuarón who now has the honor of being the first Latino director to ever win
an Oscar in the category! His film took a total of seven awards which included
Best Director, Best Achievement In Editing, Cinematography, Sound Editing,
Sound Mixing and Visual Effects. His fellow Mexicans were proud of the honor
that they made "Viva Mexico Cuarones" trend on Twitter worldwide,
with the phrase being a play on a popular expletive used south of the border.
There was one notable Mexican resident that was very attentive to the winners
of the night and was even live-tweeting as it happened. Care to guess who it
was? The one and only, Enrique Peña Nieto, President of Mexico.
"Congratulations to
Lupita Nyong'o, Mexican by birth, for her interpretative strength that have
made her an Oscar winner," he wrote after the actress won in her category
up against last year's winner Jennifer Lawrence. As the ceremony progressed
more winners were revealed and this time, the President congratulated Lubezki
for "the photographic language in 'Gravity,' as it is a great contribution
for the universal cinema." He later added, "The Oscar for Best
Director to Alfonso Cuarón is the result of his talent, effort and vision.
Extraordinary job! Congratulations! The Oscar for Best Director for 'Gravity'
is the result of the Cuaron's lifelong in movies." Peña Nieto concluded by
writing, "Congratulations to the Mexicans that have won today at the
Oscars; you are part of a distinguished generation of Mexican filmmakers."
