Best Picture
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight
Best Actor
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Matt Damon, The Martian
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
Best Actress
Cate Blanchett, Carol
Brie Larson, Room
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Commentary: This was a forgone conclusion, and Brie Larson absolutely deserved this award. What an incredible performance in a movie that is equally as fantastic.
Best Director
Adam McKay, The Big Short
George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road
Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant
Lenny Abrahamson, Room
Tom McCarthy, Spotlight
Commentary: There's no denying he worked hard as hell on this movie, but it's not the best of the year, and I'm not entirely convinced he deserves this award over George Miller or Tom McCarthy.
Best Original Song
"Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey
"Manta Ray" from Racing Extinction
"Simple Song #3" from Youth
"Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground
"Writing's on the Wall" from Spectre
Commentary: This is unbelievable. This song is pretty bad, and it's nowhere near as good as the Lady Gaga song. Really shocked at this win.
Best Original Score
Thomas Newman, Bridge of Spies
Carter Burwell, Carol
Ennio Morricone, The Hateful Eight
Jóhann Jóhansson, Sicario
John Williams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens
11:12pm – Lady Gaga belts out "Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground, proving why it will probably win Best Original Song here in a little bit. Real survivors of sexual assault and rape, both men and women, come out on stage while she sings. Very powerful performance.
Best Foreign Language Film
Colombia: Embrace of the Serpent
France: Mustang
Hungary: Son of Saul
Jordan: Theeb
Denmark: A War
Best Live-Action Short
Ave Maria
Day One
Everything Will Be Okay (Alles Wird Gut)
Shok
Stutterer
Commentary: Jacob Tremblay and Abraham Atttah presented this award, because they are short. Get it?
10:55pm – The In Memoriam reel is accompanied by Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, and it nearly made a tear come out of my face. Rest in peace, Bing Bong.
10:52pm – AMPAS President Cheryl Boone came out to talk about the changes being made to help bring about diversity and inclusion for future awards. We'll see how that works out next year, but there just need to be more roles for non-white actors.
10:49pm – Governors Awards to Debbie Reynolds and Spike Lee are highlighted with clips from the ceremony. Wish we could see more from that event.
Best Documentary Feature
Amy
Cartel Land
The Look of Silence
What Happened, Miss Simone?
Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom
Best Documentary Short
Body Team 12
Chau, Beyond the Lines
Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah
A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness
Last Day of Freedom
Commentary: Best part of this was Louis C.K. presentation for the award. It would be great if he hosted, but I can't imagine that's something he would ever want to do. Also, the fact that this changed the laws about honor killings is a big deal.
Best Supporting Actor
Christian Bale, The Big Short
Tom Hardy, The Revenant
Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight
Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies
Sylvester Stallone, Creed
Commentary: Wow. No one saw this coming. I'm not sure how I feel immediately. This was a great performance, but I thought Sylvester Stallone had it in the bag.
10:15pm – The Weeknd performs "Earned It' from Fifty Shades of Grey. There was some seductive dancing by ladies surrounding the singer. It was better than Fifty Shades of Grey.
Best Animated Feature
Anomalisa
Boy and the World
Inside Out
Shaun the Sheep Movie
When Marnie Was There
Commentary: I would have been happy if Anomalisa won this, but Inside Out just worked a little better, I think.
Best Animated Short
Bear Story
Prologue
Sanjay's Super Team
We Can't Live Without Cosmos
World of Tomorrow
Commentary: This award was presented by the Minions, which was very silly.
10:06pm – Chris Rock is having his daughter and her girl scout troop sell Girl Scout cookies at the ceremony.
10:00pm – BB-8, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear on stage, making the whole ceremony worth it, with a special shout out to John Williams, who has earned 50 Oscar nominations. C-3PO also calls the giant Oscar statue quite handsome, essentially confirming what we've suspected all along…he has a gold fetish.
Best Visual Effects
Ex Machina
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Commentary: This is a bit of an upset. It's not that Ex Machina didn't deserve it, but many though Star Wars or Mad Max would walk away with the prize.
Best Sound Mixing
Bridge of Spies
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Best Sound Editing
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Sicario
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
9:41pm – Black History Month minute honoring Jack Black was definitely chuckleworthy.
Best Film Editing
The Big Short
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Spotlight
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Commentary: Yep, Mad Max: Fury Road is taking home a bunch of technical awards for the night. Well-deserved win for this category, and The Big Short missing out on this one likely means it won't take home Best Picture.
Best Cinematography
Ed Lachman, Carol
Robert Richardson, The Hateful Eight
John Seale, Mad Max: Fury Road
Emmanuel Lubezki, The Revenant
Roger Deakins, Sicario
Commentary: Definitely deserved, but I still don't think the movie should take home Best Picture, but we'll see.
Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Mad Max: Fury Road
The 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
The Revenant
Commentary: Shiny and chrome! Witness!
Best Production Design
Bridge of Spies
The Danish Girl
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Commentary: Mad Max: Fury Road for all the awards! This was no contest at all.
Best Costume Design
Sandy Powell, Carol
Sandy Powell, Cinderella
Paco Delgado, The Danish Girl
Jenny Beavan, Mad Max: Fury Road
Jacqueline West, The Revenant
Commentary: I can see Mad Max: Fury Road taking a bunch of technical awards but not getting any big prizes. I guess some is better than none.
Best Supporting Actress
Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight
Rooney Mara, Carol
Rachel McAdams, Spotlight
Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl
Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs
Commentary: It's her first Oscar, and while I wish she got it for Ex Machina, she's got a bright future with many more awards in it, I'm betting.
9:04pm – Sam Smith sings "Writing's on the Wall" from Spectre. Didn't realize I was going to have a challenge to not fall asleep so early. This song is terribly boring.
9:01pm – Stacey Dash appeared for some kind of joke that fell completely flat.
8:58pm – Whoopi Goldberg, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan add some diversity to some of the Oscar nominees' clips, imagining what they would be like with more black people. Leslie Jones in place of the bear in The Revenant was brilliant.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Charles Randolph and Adam McKay, The Big Short
Nick Hornby, Brooklyn
Phyllis Nagy, Carol
Drew Goddard, The Martian
Emma Donoghue, Room
Commentary: Another expected win for an absolutely brilliant script. How crazy is it that Adam McKay has an Academy Award now? So happy for him.
Best Original Screenplay
Matt Charman, Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen, Bridge of Spies
Alex Garland, Ex Machina
Pete Docter, Megg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley, Inside Out
Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy, Spotlight
Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff, Straight Outta Compton
Commentary: This was predicted to win, and I couldn't be happier that it did. Such a sharp script. Hope it takes Best Picture tonight.
The order of the awards has been changed up, going by the process of filmmaking, beginning with the scripts.
Seriously, Chris Rock really knocked this monologue out of the park. "It's not fair that Will Smith wasn't nominated. It's also not fair that Will Smith got paid $20 million for Wild Wild West." We'll be posting this monologue for the morning for sure.
Chris Rock comes out by calling the Oscars the White People's Choice Awards, not shying away from the controversy surrounding the lack of black nominees, so this is going to be a great monologue.
It's 8:30pm PT and we're off to the races, kicking off with a montage of clips from the films of 2015, including a bunch that weren't nominated for any awards. They all interact with each other in a way that we've seen in a bunch of year-end montages that we posted in December.
