Michelle Obama Oscars Appearance: First Lady Presents Best Picture To 'Argo' [View all]

Source: Huffington Post

By Kia Makarechi

The Academy Awards suddenly turned into the Michelle Obama Oscars when Jack Nicholson told the audience a special guest was joining him to present Best Picture.

"Argo" won the award, which the First Lady read off an envelope while being paged in to Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre.

"[These films] taught us that love can beat all odds," Obama said. "They reminded us that we can overcome any obstacle if we dig deep enough and fight hard enough and find the courage within ourselves."

It's through cinema, Obama said, that "our children learn to open their imagination and dream just a little bigger and to strive every day to reach those dreams."
