Hollywood's biggest stars hit Los Angeles' Dolby Theater on Sunday, March 2, for the 86th annual Academy Awards.

"12 Years a Slave" was named Best Picture at the Oscars' 2014 ceremony, winning two other awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong'o. It was "Gravity," however, that won the most awards on Sunday night's Oscars broadcast. Alfonso Cuaron's space epic received seven Oscars, including wins for Cuaron in the Best Director and Best Editing categories. "Gravity" and "American Hustle" were tied for the most nominations on the night with 10 in total. ("American Hustle" was left empty handed.)

Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, some of the hottest names in acting, such as Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio, were up for awards at the 2014 Oscars, as well as newcomers like Nyong'o and Barkhad Abdi.

At last year's Academy Awards show, "Life of Pi" paced all films by taking home four awards, including Best Director for Ang Lee. It was edged out for Best Picture, however, by Ben Affleck's "Argo," which received three Oscars in total.
