This year’s Oscars was hosted by outspoken comedian Chris Rock, who kicked off the ceremony by speaking about the much-discussed diversity issues with this year’s nominees (a theme that was referenced several times throughout the evening). In a crowded field, the Best Picture winner was Spotlight, which also won for Best Original Screenplay. There were several highlights, including Leonardo DiCaprio’s huge smile after finally winning an Oscar after so many previous misses, Emmanuel Lubezki’s third consecutive win in Best Cinematography, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s second consecutive Oscar for Best Director, and iconic film composer Ennio Morricone finally winning his first competitive Oscar for Best Score after a six-decade career. One of the major surprises was that Mark Rylance was awarded Best Supporting Actor for his role in Bridge of Spies instead of the heavy favorite, Sylvester Stallone for his seventh turn as Rocky Balboa in Creed. The biggest winners of the evening were the crew of Mad Max: Fury Road, which won six Oscars, all of which were in the technical categories.
