The 87th Annual Academy Awards were last night, with Sloan grantee The Imitation Game nominated in eight categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. While Birdman was the big winner of the night with four wins, The Imitation Game scored in one category, with Graham Moore taking home the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. With Moore's win, The Imitation Game becomes the first Sloan-funded film to receive an Academy Award; previous Sloan Oscar nominees include The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Kinsey.
Though up against Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing, Eddie Redmayne won Best Actor for his turn as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
