Trophies were handed out at 88th Academy Awards on Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. “Mad Max” picked up six awards, while “Spotlight” took Best Picture. “The Revenant” also did well, winning three awards, including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Cinematography.
Leonardo Dicaprio got his elusive Oscar and received a long, standing ovation. He gave a shout out to the movie team; as well as the predictable ones, i.e. his team and his parents.
He ended on an environmental note: “Let us not take this planet for granted,” Leo said, noting that the film crew had to journey to the southernmost tip of the planet to find a place to film with enough snow because last year was the hottest on record. “Climate change is real, it is happening right now… it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”
