Full List of 2016 Academy Award Winners — What Did You Think About The Oscars?

I'm sure most of you watched the Academy Awards last night, so I wanted to create a place for you to talk to us and your fellow commenters about the winners, losers, snubs, performances, and host. For good reason, the topic of diversity was looming large in the minds of the producers of the broadcast, and I thought host Chris Rock did a great job of ripping Hollywood while at the same time creating a call to action for equal opportunity in the industry (which is all the controversy really boils down to). For addressing a tough, complicated issue that obviously doesn't start and end with the organization of the Oscars, I thought it was handled about as well as it could have been.

As for the winners and losers, I was pleasantly surprised to see Mad Max: Fury Road take home as many awards as it did, considering what a force of nature that movie is (and frankly, I appreciate that film more than I really enjoy it). As much as I liked The Revenant, I'm glad it didn't win Best Picture, so I'm glad Spotlight took that one home. I was glad to see Leo and Brie win big, and while it would have been cool to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens be awarded, I loved Ex Machina and was happy that "the little guy" won the VFX prize.
