Julianne Moore has won the lead actress Academy Award for her understated performance in Still Alice as a sufferer of early onset Alzheimer’s disease. She portrayed a 50-year-old linguistics professor at Columbia University, forced to deal with a steady decline in her cognitive skills.
Moore’s victory had been widely expected. She had dominated the field during the awards season, winning at SAG, BAFTA, the Spirits and the Golden Globes. Moore won the Oscar over Marion Cotillard for Two Days, One Night, Felicity Jones for The Theory Of Everything, Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl and Reese Witherspoon for Wild.
