Oscar-mania.

In most awards in life, there are winners and losers. I don`t think this can be really be said for Hollywood because even if an actor/actress doesn`t win a little golden man, they are still ridiculously rich and that`s pretty much a win.
The 85th Academy Awards Ceremony (officially re-branded as The Oscars this February) has had media networks buzzing for the past 24hours+.

Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for his lead role in Lincoln (as Lincoln) making Oscar history, as he is the only man to win 3 Oscars for best actor- My Left Foot (1990), There Will Be Blood (2008). 
The only other man to come close to this achievement is Jack Nicholson, with two Best Actor awards- One Flew Over The Cuckoo`s Nest (1975) and As Good As It Gets (1997) and one Best Supporting Actor award- Terms of Endearment

*Katherine Hepburn is the only person to have ever received four Best Actress Awards - Morning Glory (1933), Guess Who`s Coming To Dinner (1967), The Lion In Winter (1968), On Golden Pond (1981), 

Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress for her lead role in Silver Linings Playbook, in which she plays a recovering sex addict. I have recently come across a massive fan base for Miss Lawrence online and having watched a few interviews and her general presence when on camera, I find her pretty entertaining
