The 85th Annual Academy Awards landed in Los Angeles on Sunday, with "Amour" taking the Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
Michael Haneke's "Amour" was the slight favorite in pre-awards speculation. The movie, which tells the emotionally fraught tale of an elderly couple coping with stroke and paralysis, was nominated in foru additional categories: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress (Emanuelle Riva) and Best Director for Haneke. Joining "Amour" (Austria) as nominees for Best Foreign Film were "Kon-Tiki" (Norway), "No" (Chile), "A Royal Affair" (Denmark) and "War Witch" (Canada).
Sixteen-year-old Congolese "War Witch" star Rachel Mwanza was granted a last-minute visa to attend the Oscars.
Last year's award in this category went to Asghar Farhadi's "A Separation," Iran's first-ever Oscar.
Seth MacFarlane hosted this year's Academy Awards from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Calif. The jam-packed broadcast included a tribute to James Bond and performances from "Les Miserables," "Chicago," Adele and Barbra Streisand.
