Blanchett, McConaughey win big in drama category

Blanchett was handed over the trophy by The Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio, and she looked stunning in a black backless gown as she beamed with joy upon hearing her name for the award. In Blue Jasmine, a film by Woody Allen, the actress plays a rich Manhattan socialite who later gets a taste of poverty and homelessness. McConnaughey was happy to receive the ‘unexpected but gracefully accepted’ award for his role as an AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club, a biographical drama based on the true life tale of Ron Woodroff.
