'Spotlight' takes Best Picture in major upset victory
Stunning everyone in the biggest Best Picture upset since Crash, Spotlight pulled off the win tonight, making it the first film since 1952's The Greatest Show on Earth to win Picture along with just one other Oscar for the screenplay. Wow. Inarritu became the third director to win Best Director two years in a row, Mark Rylance upset Sylvester Stallone's expected win to take Best Supporting Actor, and the award for Best Song did in fact go to one of the worst songs in the history of the category- that god awful song from Spectre that NO ONE liked. It was a night of mostly surprise winners and upsets, which means I got blown out completely in my predictions. I think this was my worst year ever, actually. I'll be back with my recap of the show and more details on the night's big shockers, but in the meantime here's the full winners list.
