I was thinking about this and how it is to be gracious when there's an award or competition on the line. Anyone can be gracious in victory. It's easy at that point to praise your competitors because you have the proof in prize. It's far harder to be gracious in defeat. Inarritu isn't especially gracious in either, but as this shows especially not in the latter.
I wonder if Inarritu realizes that his award was pretty much entirely contingent on having Di Caprio playing the part of Hugh Glass. If not for that, and the whole narrative about how Leo is due, he wouldn't have gotten the directing award. Lubezki might have gotten cinematography, but I'm not sure even about that. Without Leo, The Revenant wouldn't have had the wide swath of nominations.
Agree. Same goes for Box office. I doubt this movie would get that much pre-release hype if not for Leo. They wouldn't have got that budget either to shoot in natural light. -

I have to wonder if Spotlight won by like 5 votes or something.
Well as I said earlier it is the first film since Greatest Show on Earth to have won only 2 Oscars to win BP!
More I think about it-the less impressed I am with last night, Chris Rock wasn't as bad as he could of been, but he wasn't someone who I would ask to come back.
Edit: BTW you have to wonder last night-did NOBODY know about the time limit for speeches or something? They kept on dragging on and on after "Kill the Wabbit" was being played!
I was rooting for Spotlight though I had my doubts with the Revenant gaining momentum as the awards season went on. Not really surprised it won only two. It wasn't the flashy film that'd win technical awards and while the ensemble did a great job, there wasn't a standout role set for Oscar like Leo in The Revenant. And the two awards Spotlight won were big(Original screenplay/BP). Also The Revenant was not even nominated for best screenplay. Few writers predicted that could hurt its chances as last film to win without best screenplay nomination was Titanic and then all the way back to Sound of Music(1965) before that.

Congrats to the entire team. So well deserved Oscar win. Good that more people will be watching this film.

From an initial US $18.7 million take in China, An Unexpected Journey went on to total $49.7 million last year. A similar result would see The Desolation of Smaug earn almost $90 million.
Worldwide box office heading for $1 billion?The total box office outside of North America for The Desolation of Smaug now sits at $637.1 million, and the film is yet to open in Japan — the world’s third-largest cinema market by value.
So far, The Desolation of Smaug has earned US $893 million worldwide, with US $256.6 million coming from North America.
A good result in China could push the worldwide box office past $960 million, but if Japan’s taste for Middle-earth has trulyfallen away, then The Desolation of Smaug might fall just shy of the magic $1 billion mark.http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2014/02/27/87218-box-office-numbers-show-the-middle-kingdom-loves-middle-earth/

http://www.deadline.com/2013/12/the-hobbit-the-desolation-of-smaug-france-opening/Germany delivered the biggest opening of the year with $3.4M on 1,462 screens. Warner says this was 67% ahead of the previous film
Germany was the biggest OS market for TH1 with $88.85 M. So 67% increase is huge and probably contributed to the overall 11% increase.
