yeah you read it right, read on…..
Last night the Academy Awards were held in L.A. and as Oscars were given to actors, producers, directors, and others involved in the creation of the Academy?s chosen films of the year.
Taking home best documentary was the film ?Undefeated,? executive produced by Diddy, about a high school football team from Memphis, Tennesee that undergoes the struggles of life in a rough Memphis area.
The film marks the first time an African American director has won an Academy Award.
Overcome with excitement director T.J. Martin accepted the award accidentally dropping the word, ?f**king? in his acceptance speech, a feat that was not a first for Academy Award show speeches.
Directed by Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin, the film follows a volunteer coach, Bill Courtney, as he resurrects as a high school team and its players after continually putting together losing seasons.
Miraculously in the film, the Manassas Tigers of North Memphis, who had never won a playoff game in their 110-year history, win a playoff game and learn a great deal about life at the same time.
?Congrats to Oscar Winning FilmMakers?@dan_lindsay?@TJMckayMartin?!!! And Coach Bill Courtney!! #Undefeated LET?S GOOOO!!!? Diddy exclaimed via Twitter. ?And special Congrats to?@TJMckayMartin-Hes the 1st African American director to win an Academy Award!!! #UNDEFEATED !!!! RT!!!?
Also at the Oscars, viewers heard singer/producer Pharrell Williams and popular drummer Sheila E play to the award show audience in and out of commercials
Pharrell also worked with famed composer Hans Zimmer on several of the songs during the Academy awards according to an?interview with MTV?over the last week.
?You know, Hans called me and he said that [Oscars Producer] Brian Grazer had asked him to come on as a consultant and effectively score the music or whatever,? Pharrell explained to MTV News. ?And Hans was like, ?I can?t do that. ? I?d do that if like I had, like, Pharrell.? [Grazer’s] like, ?OK, get Pharrell on the phone.? That?s the story he told me. I got the call from Hans and he told them he wanted to do it with me, and so I pleasantly accepted and we?ve just been working ever since.?
