How did Spotlight win? Even The Big Short or Fury Road was way better movies. IMO of course.

Weirdly the Spotlight win makes Inarritu getting Director all the more annoying.

The world is back in harmony. I might not be Spotlight's biggest fan, but The Revenant lost. And that's all that matters.

 

Why so much hate Blank?

Dammit, Chris Rock is going to make the quotas for his daughter's girl scout cookies. Best place to do it, in a room full of rich folks.

Considering the problems The Revenant during production, the fact it won 3 Oscars including two big ones and managed to break even with its budget is an achievement in itself.

Did NOT see that coming

[CoolioD1]

"fuck yeah" dude wanted this

It amuses that all those people throughout the season kept saying The Big Short would win because it was the Important Movie of the Year when anyone with a brain could see that it was Spotlight. Like, really now.

I like how the Academy put "fight the power" as the song that plays over the credits.

Spotlight is one the worthier Best Picture winners in quite some time.

Yep, imo it is the only worthy Best Picture winner since Lord of the Rings.

Michael Keaton was in back to back Best Pic Oscar winning movies, very impressive.

[CoolioD1]

spotlight is the first best picture winner to only win 2 oscars since 1952. mad max won 6.

"Also if you have a couple hours to kill consider watching The Cobbler on Netflix"

If you would have told me earlier last year that the director of The Cobbler would win best picture at this year's Oscars I would have thought you were crazy. Is there another example of a director directing such a critically panned and acclaimed movie in the same year ?

I'd like this 100 times if I could! (If I had any likes left )

[The Panda]

Spotlight?  I had it in third, that's a shock.
