Patricia Arquette won the Oscar for best actress in a supporting role for her work in “Boyhood.”

Patricia Arquette wins for playing very, very beleaguered in “Boyhood,” but I would not have been mad if Emma Stone had pulled that one out.

On the one hand, Arquette is a complete pro, writing a list of everyone she needs to thank. On the other, she uses the opportunity to promote wage equality, which gets Streep and J.Lo jumping.
