And the Oscar Winners are…

U2’s ‘Ordinary Love’, which they wrote for “Nelson Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom”, lost out at the Oscars last night in the Best Original Song category to ‘Let It Go’ from “Frozen”.  (And John Travolta couldn’t figure out how to pronounce Idina Menzel’s name when introducing her ‘Let It Go’ performance.)

So South Africa’s main representation at the glittering event, hosted by Ellen de Generes, went to Charlize Theron who sparkled in a black Dior dress, wearing a reported $15-million worth of Harry Winston diamonds.

The winners at last night’s 2014 Academy Awards Ceremony are in bold below…
