Oscars 2016: Full Winners List; Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Wins Best Actor
The awards season reached its climax with the 88th Academy Awards – and it was a night that saw the gold shared amongst a variety of films. The Revenant, Spotlight, The Big Short, The Danish Girl, Bridge of Spies and Room won the top nods, while Mad Max: Fury Road took home a lot of the technical achievements.
The big news is that Leonardo DiCaprio finally won Best Actor (after six nominations), while Mark Rylance had a shock win for Best Supporting actor. Sylvester Stallone should have taken home that award for his role in Creed.
Meanwhile Alejandro Inarritu won his second Best Director Oscar in a row – the first director to achieve the feat in 65 years. His Revenant cinematographer Emmanuel ‘Chivo’ Lubezki won his third award on the trot following Gravity and Birdman.
Chris Rock presented the show and #Oscarssowhite was on the forefront of everyone’s mind – but I have know idea how Sam Smith’s terrible James Bond theme won Best Song.
