Beasts of the Southern Wild by Benh Zeitlin was the night's big winners. The magical realist story of a young girl in the backwoods of the Louisiana bayou not only won Outstanding Picture, but three other awards as well, including Outstanding Score. Nine-year-old, first-time actress Quvenzhane Wallis came away with both Outstanding Actress and Outstanding Breakthrough Performance.
Ava DuVernay, the writer/director of Middle of Nowhere, also snagged two awards: Outstanding Director and Outstanding Screenplay (Original or Adapted). The film depicts a young woman's anguish caused by her blind devotion to her imprisoned husband. It had led with nine nominations.
