Personal thoughts on the event:

Well, I think the whole race thing got a bit TOO MUCH focus in the show and felt like it all revolved around that instead of, well, the awards. That said, I think Chris Rock did a great job handling the whole thing and felt confident and great. I mean they had to address the race controversy anyway, so Chris Rock doing it was probably the best choice.

Well, it was already been predicted by peter for Best Actor Award 2016

Leonardo DiCaprio finally take home his first and most deserving OSCAR in 2016. Of course, "The Revenant" potent movie with superior acting and why not be. Congratulations to him for home run after that long waiting. And so the Best Director, the revenant taken the lead for fall 2016.

Mad Max 4 awards, that's brilliant.

As for the awards themselves, well:
The whole show literally boiled down to the best Actor category for me. That was the one I was waiting for from the start, and judging from the reaction, everybody else was too.
Just so glad he finally won.

Some of the other awards:
Best Picture:
I was indifferent about the award this year. Didn't really had a pic to root for but The Revenant and Mad Max felt like the two front runners, but surprisingly Spotlight won. It was a great film, so I was happy.

Best Actress:
Yeah, I only watched Room in this, so didn't really know about the other performances, but was glad Brie Larson won cause she was friggin amazing.

Best Director:
I knew Inarritu will win, and he did. And I was with either him or George Miller.

Best Supporting Actor:
I had a feeling that either Ruffalo or Bale would win, but to my surprise, Mark Rylance won. Regardless, was happy for him, he was really good in Bridge of Spies.

Best Supporting Actress:
Was with Alicia Vikander, and glad that she won.

Best Cinematography:
Was 100% sure Lubezki will win for his truly remarkable work on The Revenant. One of the best shot film I have ever seen. Period.


And well, MAD MAX winning three in a row, and then two more soon after was a huge thing but I do believe The Force Awakens was snubbed in the Sound categories in favor of Mad Max.

Finally Well Deserved LEO (bm)

Mad Max Fury Road - awesome movie (sm1)

 

[shahbakht]

Some good things that I felt this year:

- Mad Max is the movie that took home the most awards, despite all of them being in the technical category.
- A Pakistani gets her second Academy Award
- The Revenant didn't win
- Chris Rock nailed it

Overall:

Best Picture: I was rooting for Mad Max till the end and some crazy part of me was hoping that the Academy would give it the oscar but I should've known better. I have been watching Oscars since 2006 but I couldn't help being optimistic. That said, I am really glad that Spotlight got the award. It was a pretty damn good movie and despite not being the best in my book, it is still a worthy winner. Personally I would have preferred The Big Short, if not Max, but anything that is not The Revenant is a win.

Best Actress: There was never any doubt in my mind about who the victor was going to be. It was Brie's to lose. Seeing all the five performances, I think this was a fair victory.

Best Actor: Oh my. The moment we have all been waiting for. The wait is over. Leo has an Oscar. There. It's done. It's over with. Now he can sign on for dumb comedies and mindless action movies. Leo DiCaprio probably won more for endurance than acting and his performance, but it was overdue. He has given better performances in better movies, but I believe the time was right. His win didn't cut out any other "worthier" nominee and the Academy got to right a wrong. So, that's done. Leo is an Oscar winner. Let's start the campaign for Johnny Depp (but, the guy is losing it!).

Best Supporting Actress: Alicia. What a couple of bravado performances in one year. She won for The Danish Girl in a wrong category. That happens. She is talented and will go places. I haven't seen that movie, but I saw Ex Machina and I have faith in her talent. I was personally inclined towards Rachel McAdams or Kate Winslet, not so much Rooney Mara because Carol didn't impress me at all.

Best Supporting Actor: Tom Hardy. He will get his due. He has a long career ahead of him. I frankly had no idea who Mark Rylance was before Bridge of Spies but he was pretty damn good in a solid, well made movie. He beat out Sly Stallone who had rarely been better in all his career, but that is not saying much. I am not being crass or rude, but Stallone has never struck me as an immensely talented actor. He's solid in a few performances (Cop Land being a highly underrated movie) but overall, he's usually the dumb action movie guy.

Best Director: Innaritu! I used to lovfe your movies unconditionally when I was younger. You used to play tricks on narratives. Now you play tricks with camera. You do both these things amazingly well. While I admire The Revenant and Innaritu's vision is a big part of that, I think one movie that surpassed technical mastery and movie magic was Mad Max Fury Road. George Miller brought something bonkers on screen and he made us stare at it for 2 hours with out mouths open. The Revenant often elicited a yawn, Mad Max only gasps. Miller deserved it, for sheer force of energy that Max was.

[MENTION=32680]Spartan 117[/MENTION] ofcours eit would thats why i was not going on fb etc news sites until i had watched the oscars but ohh well whats done is done, it was still worth it to watch the oscars...

LEO did it it was his year definately...

apart from that the whole #oscarssowhite campaign thingie well chris rock kinda watered it down didn't he

 

[Spartan 117]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention about Sharmeen Obaid. GG for her. Second Oscar for a Pakistani.

Some moments I really liked other then the award winners:

• C3PO, R2D2 and BB8 showing up on stage.
• The friggin vice president of the USA showing up and supporting a great cause. I was really surprised here, and I even thought Obama himself might show up considering the race focus this year, what's better than the African American president himself, how awesome would that have been.
• That clip where Oscar nominated movies had African American celebrities in them. I loved it.

 

[puppet]

cheers for leo :dance:

Yeah, all the focus went to that race issue thing, so he had to tackle it very carefully, and he did a great job at it. It's a shame we couldn't have him in normal times, would have been a lot more fun.
