In a triumph long deferred, "12 Years a Slave" won the best picture Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night, the first time Hollywood conferred its top honor to the work of a black director.
"I'd like to thank this amazing story," said Steve McQueen, the British-born filmmaker who grasped a prize that has eluded African-American directors and their movies since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave its first Oscars in 1929.
"Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live," said Mr. McQueen, who dedicated the film to those who had endured slavery, both in the past and in the present. Only minutes before, Mr. McQueen had been overlooked for the directing award, which went to Alfonso Cuarón for "Gravity," a 3-D blockbuster whose story of survival in space had been locked with Mr. McQueen's film and David O. Russell's "American Hustle" in a ferocious contest for the best picture statuette.
