This was a victory for all those who endured slavery. So let this historic win send a resounding message forth that we are even now, ok?! Because while slavery was bad, it was bad ok? It was bad and we did it. But, slavery beat all the things America loves the most. Astronauts, Tom Hanks and Jonah Hill yanking it! And since the terrible evils of slavery resulted in a Best Picture Oscar, that means ultimately slavery has a happy ending. Just like the tragedy of the Titanic, if those people had lived to hear Celione Dion sing that song, Im sure they would have gladly drowned themselves! - Stephen Colberts response to 12 Years a Slave winning Best Picture Oscar.
