Basically, The Revenant takes the big categories (with back-to-back Oscars for Iñárritu and three-in-a-row for Mexican directors!), and Mad Max takes the smaller technical ones.
17/24 - your slipping Ti.
Best Picture and supporting Actor were a slight surprise. That dreadful Sam Smith song won and No Star Wars SPecial Effects Trophy
Overall a great night for Mad Max winning the most (all be it all techy) Oscars.
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.
Roberta Williams
AHH, how i wish, HOW I WISH!, but to tell you the truth, it aint gonna happen, when i saw him given the GG, i was more convinced it will never happen, even the way he received it, showed (at his speech) that he believes it too, as they are saying it to him “ok!, you can have a GG, but never an Oscar”
Ha, Leo finally has his Oscar!
Pulled an all-nighter to watch the show. Mocking the white/black controversy was fun, but all in all it was a rather tame show. Is Chris Rock losing his edge?
It appeared to me that Morgan Freeman was surprised as well, with the way he looked and said “Spotlight” as the Best Picture winner.
Back-to-back Best Picture wins for Michael Keaton. Way to revitalize his career!
And I’m glad Tom McCarthy won for his Spotlight script. He’s a very solid writer/director, and I’ve liked his previous films (if you haven’t seen them, please check out The Visitor and The Station Agent - the latter shows that Peter Dinklage is a LOT more than just Tyrion Lannister, superb actor).
I can’t believe this was only the first win for Ennio Morricone. He should’ve gotten a standing ovation, imo. I consider him John Williams-level - a class above the rest.
17/24 - your slipping Ti.
More upsets than usual.
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Rather tame? He was no agressive Ricky Gervais but he talked about lynching, cops killings, Rihanna’s panties, it was all about racism. For the usual Oscar snooze is was very risque.
The ceremony was more enjoyable than usual, except for the musical acts… So boring
Morgan Freeman did sound very surprised to read Spotlight, them again, I don’t think anybody thought it has a chance at that point.
Geroge Miller nor winning best director was the biggest facepalm of the night, who directed all those technical achievements awards?
Hooray for Leo, that is one classy dude. Deserved
17/24 for me too. I`ve participated in a contest where the prize was a huge plasma tv and the winner got 20 correct. So… freaking… close…

hah, well, high score lasts forever ma friend!

HoO0rRaAyyyy!
But the hell with this reporter(asking Leo) which had turned out be from Ahem* EGYPT!!
I couldnt have guessed, never had it crossed my mind until i figured how this Leo-reporter-silly question incident is trending right now here!... Man!.
MAN! Do you get (just a glimpse) How this to show how corrupted the system is?..... ;
let me elaborate; of all the VERY-well-educated youngsters (and they are more than 20% of the youth population) good enough to play a better role, were pushed away for the sake this silly reporter which i believe she had gotten this opportunity for the sake of a close relative of her, or maybe her father, which is (probably) a military high-rank officer/personal or similar!
bottomline: its a shame!, how our media is setting this terrible example of our youth with that stupid and silly reporter, when there are other millions, ‘yeah millions’ definitely more deserving and appropriate to have better chance of presenting Egypt at the red carpet (nevertheless, setting an example) when covering such an important event as the Oscars

I’m not going to vote because I haven’t seen enough of the movies, but I will be watching tonight.

@abnaxus
You got most right except blahblahland
Really happy for Casey, he has natural acting talent

Not good of kimmel to throw poor old guy under the bus
Glad steve cleared up
1st year in a long time I don’t watch it live and and the most entertaining stuff happens what a mess that ending!
On the other side, watching it the next morning is cool being able to fast forward all those breaks and musical acts
Yeah my favs topped the floor, also good for Emma

I think Kimmel was throwing him under the bus, just making light of the situation. I think Kimmel did a good job the whole show, it was mostly funny.
17/24 just like last year. I am curious what Timovieman would have picked for best movie but I guess he was busy.
For me this was a bad year when it comes to cinema, and the oscar movies were no exception… maybe Arrival saved the face of Hollywood, the only one I will remember after a year from now.
That ending was the epitome of a cluster f***! I didn’t see La La Land nor Moonlight, but that wasn’t fair to either company. It’s one thing to not make it, but to think you have won and then get it snatched away is doubly disappointing. Also, the real winners didn’t get acknowleded the way they should have.

You gotta check The witch and Nocturnal animals
Hollywood as a whole is past its prime
