Oscars 2016: DiCaprio finally wins Best Actor, and 'Spotlight' scoops Best Picture

Mar 08, 2016, 17:40

He also reached back to his past to recognize others including Martin Scorsese, who directed him in several films including "Wolf" and "The Aviator". Cameras cut to the 40-year-old actress and her husband, Ned Rocknroll, looking proudly at the 41-year-old actor on stage (about 2:23 minutes into speech). This was Alicia's first Oscar nod.

Before the awards, Goldberg shared with People her thoughts on boycotting.

The Debrief: Leo has FINALLY won an Oscar and err... now what?

Celebrated filmmaker Spike Lee and actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith among others boycotted the event on Sunday in protest of the lack of nomination for black actors. He was nominated in 2007 as best director for "Babel".

What's more, between this win and the victories for Brie Larson and Amy, rising studio A24 broke into the Oscar winner's circle for the first time - albeit not to the extent of Open Road Films for Spotlight. Such a sparsely-awarded best picture victor hasn't happened since 1952's "The Greatest Show On Earth".

Smith and Jimmy Napes won for "Writing's On the Wall" from "Spectre". She previously won for 1985's "A Room with a View". Asif shared the award with James Gay-Rees.

Manoj Chopra, an eyewitness, also said Smriti Irani ji's convoy had rammed into vehicles which were piled up due to the accident. She was returning to Delhi when the mishap occurred on Yamua Expressway . "Within 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived".

But the suspense of who will go home with a statuette has been eclipsed in recent weeks by the media's and entertainment industry's obsession over what host Chris Rock will say about the fact no artists of color are among the 20 acting nominees for a second year in a row.

Composer Ennio Morricone, at 87, landed his first competitive Oscar for "The Hateful Eight".

"The Italian composer has created some of cinema's most-recognizable music, scoring Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns such as "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and music for "The Untouchables". If only the year's real films had been this diverse - and the comedies this amusing. He was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 2007. Crowd-pleaser Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shut out. Hungary scored its second best foreign language Oscar for Laszlo Nemes' "Son of Saul", a harrowing drama set within a concentration camp.

Director Laszlo Nemes used long tracking shots to follow the film's protagonist as he navigates the horrors of the death camp. Messages ranged from Vice President Joe Biden's special appearance urging a stand against sexual violence on college campuses to best actor victor Leonardo DiCaprio's impassioned appeal to take care of the planet.

Animated Feature Film: "Inside Out". The win is the studio's eighth in the category.

It was a loud movie after all.

The Super AMOLED displays on both devices support Quad HD resolutions and have the ability to remain "always on". The smartphones also have a hybrid SIM card slot to enable storage expansion via microSD card of up to 200GB.

Mad Max: Fury Road topped the award count with six awards, while The Revenant trailed behind with four trophies in its kitty.

"This will be the last night of an all-white Oscars", Sharpton said. The Swedish newcomer is set to star in the upcoming Jason Bourne movie with Matt Damon, as well as The Light Between Two Oceans, alongside Michael Fassbender, and Tulip Fever, a period drama with Cara Delevingne and Christoph Waltz. He won last year for "Birdman" and the previous year for "Gravity".

"The Revenant", buoyed by big box office and a win at the BAFTAs, is seen as the one with the most momentum and has the best odds in Las Vegas. While I can't say that I'm pleased that Creed got as completely shut out as it did by the Oscars this year, if anyone was going to win over Stallone, I'm glad it's Rylance.

Little known to the general public before being crowned Best Actress for Room, the Oscar-winner is moving into a whole new league with Kong: Skull Island, a blockbuster that she's now filming with Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman. Morgan played Eddie Redmayne's role in "The Danish Girl" wearing a white dress and heels, saying: "Look at me, I'm a black thespian starring in his first dramatic role". It also won in the Original Screenplay category. Carol and The Martian also failed to bag a trophy despite nominations.

"We made this film for all the journalists who have and continue to hold the powerful accountable", McCarthy said.
