With six Oscars, Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em> collected the most amount of Academy Awards on Hollywood’s biggest night, but it was Spotlight<\/em> that snuck away with Best Picture and not the heavily predicted The Revenant<\/em>. The latter film did collect awards for Best Director (Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu), Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio, who won his first Oscar) and Best Cinematograpy (Emmanuel Lubezki), but that was it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The night’s other major awards went to Brie Larson (Best Actress for Room<\/em>), Alicia Vikander (Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl<\/em>) and Mark Rylance (Best Supporting Actor, Bridge of Spies<\/em>), who may be responsible for this year’s biggest snub, as Sylvester Stallone (Creed<\/em>) missed out. (Yo Adrian… I didn’t do it!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Our favorite moments?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall Favorite Moment: Chris Rock’s opening monologue<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not only did host Chris Rock come right out and confront the controversial lack of diversity among this year’s nominees, but he did so with hilarity and poignancy — and he wasn’t afraid to go right at the realities of Hollywood — going so far as to point out the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio gets great roles every year — while also making a point to say it’s not about boycotting anything, it’s about simply wanting more opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite Friend Moment: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s message to Sylvester Stallone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When Sly lost the Oscar, his pal Arnold was quick to post this sweet video championing, well, the champ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite Surprise Moment: Ex Machina<\/em> winning Best Visual Effects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And how about the little sci-fi movie that could snagging a major Oscar from big-budget competition like Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> and Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most Powerful Moment: Lady Gaga’s performance of “‘Til It Happens To You” from The Hunting Ground<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Gaga’s powerful performance ended with he singer flanked by rape survivors. The entire crowd was on their feet, wiping away tears. Brie Larson even took the time to hug each and every survivor as they exited the stage.<\/span><\/p>\n
