AND THE OSCAR GOES TO...

Four nominations and some spectacular performances later, actor Leonardo DiCaprio finally won the Best Actor award for his role as a fur trapper left for dead in The Revenant.
Spotlight won the Best Picture award. The movie recreates the Boston Globe’s probe of sex abuse in the Catholic Church.
Alejandro G. Inarritu accepts the award for best director for “The Revenant”. Iñárritu had also won best director last year for “Birdman,” which also won the 2015 best picture Academy Award. With this he has become the first filmmaker in more than 60 years to win a back-to-back director’s Oscar.
Brie Larson won the best actress Oscar for her role as a young woman held hostage for years with a young son in the emotional thriller “Room.” This is the actor’s first nomination.

Mark Rylance beat presumed favorite and “Creed” actor Sylvester Stallone to win the Academy Award for best supporting actor for “Bridge of Spies.”
