Anyone else watch them? Thoughts on the winners?
I was pretty pleased with the awards overall, even if some of my predictions were wrong (thought for sure The Big Short would take Best Comedy and Screenplay). Don't agree with the politics behind Sly winning Supporting Actor, though I am happy for the guy. Writing on the Wall wasn't nearly good enough to steal the Song award from See You Again or Love Me Like You Do, but whatever.
Only one that really annoyed me was The Revenant winning Best Drama (and Director to a lesser extent). I just saw it today and thought it was a great film (Leo's definitely getting his first Oscar), but by no means a better film than Room or Spotlight or Carol, or even Mad Max: Fury Road.
