23/02/2015 LOS ANGELES, “Birdman” won best picture at the 87th Academy Awards on Sunday night, where as Julianne Moore won best actress for her faltering college professor in “Still Alice,” and Eddie Redmayne won best actor for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

The awards ceremony lurched to a mirth-by-any-means start with a string of musical numbers, a host who appeared on stage nearly nude, attempted fun at the expense of Oprah Winfrey, chitchat with seat fillers.
