\"Spotlight-cast\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The true-life story of the Boston investigative journalists who uncovered the Boston priest child abuse scandel, Spotlight<\/strong>, took the Best Picture Oscar at tonight’s Academy Awards. It also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the film’s director Tom McCarthy and his writing partner Josh Singer.<\/p>\n

Going into tonight’s award ceremony, the two biggest juggernauts in terms of nominations were The Revenant<\/strong> with 12 and Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong> with ten. The Revenant<\/strong> managed to pick up two of the big awards – one for director Alejandro Inarritu and one for Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Lead Actor. For Inarritu it was his second Academy Award in a row following his win last year for Birdman<\/strong>, which also took home the Best Picture award. Di Caprio’s Oscar win comes after five previous nominations yielded nothing. The film also won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the third year in a row that Emmanuel Lubezki took home the prize, having previously won for Birdman<\/strong> and Gravity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Brie Larson, took the award for Best Lead Actress for her work as a kidnapped woman who had been held captive for years in Room<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although shut out of Best Picture and Director, Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong> did clean up in the technical awards though, snagging the Oscars for Film Editing, Sound Design, Sound Editing, Production and Costume Design. But Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong>‘s wins meant losses for The Reveant<\/strong>, who didn’t win in any of the technical categories it was nominated for outside of Cinematography.<\/p>\n

Taking the prize for Best Original Score was Ennio Morricone, whose win for the music he composed for The Hateful Eight<\/strong> makes him the oldest person to ever win an Academy Award in one of the competitive categories at the age of 87.<\/p>\n
