Hollywood’s biggest night was a lovely day for Spotlight, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Leonardo DiCaprio.George Miller’s apocalyptic Road Warrior movie Mad Max scored six awards in the below-the-line categories at Sunday’s Oscars: best editing, best costumes, best production design, best makeup and hairstyling, best sound editing, and best sound mixing.Mad Max came into the night with 10 total nominations, second only to The Revenant, which led the way with 12.
That film, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, won three awards: best director for Iñárritu (his second straight win in the category), best cinematography for Emmanuel Lubezki (the third straight time Lubezki has taken home that honor), and best actor for DiCaprio (his first-ever Oscar win).
But it was Spotlight which took the night’s biggest honor: best picture. The journalism drama, about the Boston Globe reporters who uncovered the systemic abuse inside the Catholic Church, won both the first and last awards of the night. Co-writers Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy (who also directed the film) were rewarded with best original screenplay at the beginning of the telecast.
In addition to DiCaprio, the acting trophies were all awarded to first-time winners. Brie Larson won best actress for Room, Alicia Vikander grabbed best supporting actress for her role in The Danish Girl, and Mark Rylance won best supporting actor for Bridge of Spies a shocker as Creed star Sylvester Stallone was expected to earn the honor.
