Here Are Your 2016 Oscar Winners!
After coming up short on five previous Oscar nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in “The Revenant.” The film’s director, Alejandro G. Inarritu, won his second consecutive Academy Award for Best Director–becoming the first director to win back-to-back awards in the category since Joseph L. Mankiewicz won in 1949 and 1950 for “A Letter to Three Wives” and “All ABout Eve”.
Brie Larson’s much talked about performance in “Room” earned the actress her first Academy Award for Best Actress, beating out previous winners Cate Blanchett (2014) and Jennifer Hudson (2013).
It was also a huge night for “Mad Max: Fury Road”, as the film took in a total of six Academy Awards (but failed to win for Best Picture and Best Director).
