Jennifer Lawrence did not trip, the Minions presented an award, and Leonardo DiCaprio finally won after six nominations; this year’s Oscars were something out of “The Twilight Zone“. Amidst the controversy surrounding this year’s show with #OscarsSoWhite trending on Twitter, the show went on and tried to prove its diversity (or lack thereof). Comedian and host, Chris Rock, told some edgy jokes that started funny and at some point made people in the room seem uncomfortable. Despite the tension, it was a successful year for newcomers and films like “Mad Max: Fury Road“, below is a complete list of the winners.

Cast and Crew:

Best Director- Alejandro González Iñárritu for “The Revenant“ It came as a surprise that George Miller did not take the award, but is nevertheless deserved for Iñárritu. Taking this award home last year for “Birdman“, this Mexico native had a moving speech about prejudice and the world that he imagines for the future of film making. 

Best Actress- Brie Larson for “Room“ The first nomination and win for Larson, she beat out the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, and other A-listers. Her performance was moving and her win was expected after she took home a Golden Globe this year for the same role.

Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio for “The Revenant“ The biggest win of the night. Countless memes of DiCaprio never getting his rightfully deserved Oscar will never haunt our social media accounts again. A movie that was a little slow was completely transformed by his performance, and I would have rather seen him win for portraying Jordan Belfort– but this win will do just fine. His speech was incredible, addressing environmental issues and the preservation of our planet– DiCaprio stole my heart once again. 

Best Supporting Actress- Alicia Vikander for “The Danish Girl”

Best Supporting Actor- Mark Rylance for “Bridge of Spies” Rylance’s win came as a big surprise as Sylvester Stallone seemed to be guaranteed this award for reprising his role as Rocky Balboa.

Best Picture: “Spotlight“

Best Original Screenplay: Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer for “Spotlight“

Best Adapted Screenplay- Adam McKay and Charles Randolph for “The Big Short“ Most deserved award of the night, this script was innovative, original, and made the financial crisis interesting with some comedic relief for a truly devastating situation. 

Best Original Score- Ennio Morricone for “The Hateful Eight“

Best Original Song- Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes for “Writings On the Wall“ Smith wrongly naming himself the first openly gay man to receive an Oscar received criticism from viewers, but his point was to put a light on the LGBT community– something that was completely overlooked. Gaga definitely deserved the award for her heartbreaking song on sexual violence, but Smith was a close second. 

Best Animated short- Chile for “Bear Story” The win was the first Oscar for Chile.

Best Animated Feature Film- Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera for “Inside Out“ A film that reassured viewers that adolescence is normal, it deserved every accolade it received. 

Best Documentary Short Film- Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy for “A Girl in the River: Price of Forgiveness”

Best Documentary Feature- Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees for “Amy“

Best Live Action Short Film- Benjamin Cleary and Serena Armitage for “Stutterer“

Best Foreign Language Film- Hungary for “Son of Saul” 

Production:

Costume Design- Jenny Beavan for “Mad Max: Fury Road“

Best Production Design- Colin Gibson and Lisa Thompson for “Mad Max: Fury Road“

Best Makeup and Hairstyling- Lesley Vanderwalt, Elka Wardega, and Damian Martin for “Mad Max: Fury Road“

Best Cinematography- Emmanuel Lubezki for “The Revenant” With eight nominations and three wins, three years in a row, Lubezki seemed like a shoe-in for the award. His work is stunning and breathtaking, he never fails to amaze me. 

Best Film Editing- Margaret Sixel for “Mad Max: Fury Road“

Best Sound Editing- Mark Mangini and David White for “Mad Max: Fury Road“

Best Sound Mixing- Gregg Rudloff, Chris Jenkins, and Ben Osmo for “Mad Max: Fury Road“
