The 2016 Oscars are in the books and there were more surprises than usual! There was a period where Mad Max: Fury Road appeared to have immense momentum. We kept hearing Junkie XL's score greeting technical winners to receive their golden statues, one after another after another—until it had six Oscars. Then the evening—which lasted more than 3 and a half hours (five if you include the red carpet coverage)—seemed to switch to The Revenant, as the 19th century survival film picked up three awards. Still, it was Tom McCarthy's spotlight on the power of investigative journalism, Spotlight, that won Best Picture.

At two total Academy Awards, Spotlight is the lowest total-haul Best Picture winner since 1952's The Greatest Show on Earth (which also won 2). But the film, which chronicles the work of five hard-willed Boston Globe reporters who broke a massive sexual abuse coverup within the Catholic Church that sparked worldwide outrage, fit in with a theme of the night: that highly funded corporations and individuals need to be held more accountable. From Spotlight's win, to Adam McKay's screenplay win for his polemic expose of what caused the economic collapse of 2008, The Big Short, to Leonardo DiCaprio's Best Actor acceptance speech declaration that "climate change is real" and needs to be paid attention to, and their own President of the Academy's plea to the industry to create more films that better reflect modern America (in response to the second year of #OscarsSoWhite controversy), it's obvious that Hollywood wanted to send a message that they can do better. And also that we all can do better.

There were numerous other instances of such a creed throughout the night (however, no Sylvester Stallone career victory for Creed), but Adam Chitwood will get more into the big analysis of the awards tomorrow. Right now, we know you just want to get to the winners. All told, Mad Max: Fury Road won the most Oscars at 6, Alejandro G. Iñárritu won back-to-back Best Director Oscars with his win for The Revenant (following last year's win for Birdman), DiCaprio won his first Oscar, and so did legendary composer Ennio Morricone, who likely became the oldest Oscar-winner ever, at the age of 87. The full list of winners from the 88th Academy Awards continues below. And come back to Collider tomorrow, for more analysis.
