2016 Oscar Winners: 'Spotlight' Wins Best Picture At The 88th Academy Awards

Hollywood's biggest night has come and gone with the 88th Academy Awards, and after most of the /Film crew posted their own predictions for who would take home Oscar tonight (along with who we wanted to win), we followed the winners as they were announced live on the air.

Chris Rock hosted the ceremony, and he offered up plenty of jokes and commentary on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, making for great comedy and poignant thoughts on the matter. He undoubtedly upset some people, but he said plenty that needed to be said.

Below we have a list of all the 2016 Oscar winners, which was updated live throughout the night after the awards start getting handed out at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT, along with some commentary here and there on those who took home the coveted trophies. Get the full list of 2016 Oscar winners after the jump!

We've bolded every single one of the winners in each category as they were announced live on the air with the most recent on top.

That's a wrap folks! Thanks for tuning in! Keep the talk going in the comments!

Best Actress

Cate Blanchett, Carol

Brie Larson, Room

Jennifer Lawrence, Joy

Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years

Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

Commentary: This was a forgone conclusion, and Brie Larson absolutely deserved this award. What an incredible performance in a movie that is equally as fantastic.

Best Director

Adam McKay, The Big Short

George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road

Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant

Lenny Abrahamson, Room

Tom McCarthy, Spotlight

Commentary: There's no denying he worked hard as hell on this movie, but it's not the best of the year, and I'm not entirely convinced he deserves this award over George Miller or Tom McCarthy.

Best Original Song

"Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey

"Manta Ray" from Racing Extinction

"Simple Song #3" from Youth

"Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground

"Writing's on the Wall" from Spectre

Commentary: This is unbelievable. This song is pretty bad, and it's nowhere near as good as the Lady Gaga song. Really shocked at this win.

Best Original Score

Thomas Newman, Bridge of Spies

Carter Burwell, Carol

Ennio Morricone, The Hateful Eight

Jóhann Jóhansson, Sicario

John Williams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens

11:12pm – Lady Gaga belts out "Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground, proving why it will probably win Best Original Song here in a little bit. Real survivors of sexual assault and rape, both men and women, come out on stage while she sings. Very powerful performance.

Best Foreign Language Film

Colombia: Embrace of the Serpent

France: Mustang

Hungary: Son of Saul

Jordan: Theeb

Denmark: A War

Best Live-Action ShortAve MariaDay OneEverything Will Be Okay (Alles Wird Gut)ShokStutterer

Commentary: Jacob Tremblay and Abraham Atttah presented this award, because they are short. Get it?

10:55pm – The In Memoriam reel is accompanied by Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, and it nearly made a tear come out of my face. Rest in peace, Bing Bong.

10:52pm – AMPAS President Cheryl Boone came out to talk about the changes being made to help bring about diversity and inclusion for future awards. We'll see how that works out next year, but there just need to be more roles for non-white actors.

10:49pm – Governors Awards to Debbie Reynolds and Spike Lee are highlighted with clips from the ceremony. Wish we could see more from that event.

Best Documentary FeatureAmyCartel LandThe Look of SilenceWhat Happened, Miss Simone?Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for FreedomBest Documentary ShortBody Team 12Chau, Beyond the LinesClaude Lanzmann: Spectres of the ShoahA Girl in the River: The Price of ForgivenessLast Day of Freedom

Commentary: Best part of this was Louis C.K. presentation for the award. It would be great if he hosted, but I can't imagine that's something he would ever want to do. Also, the fact that this changed the laws about honor killings is a big deal.

Best Supporting Actor

Christian Bale, The Big Short

Tom Hardy, The Revenant

Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight

Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies

Sylvester Stallone, Creed

Commentary: Wow. No one saw this coming. I'm not sure how I feel immediately. This was a great performance, but I thought Sylvester Stallone had it in the bag.

10:15pm – The Weeknd performs "Earned It' from Fifty Shades of Grey. There was some seductive dancing by ladies surrounding the singer. It was better than Fifty Shades of Grey.

Best Animated FeatureAnomalisaBoy and the WorldInside OutShaun the Sheep MovieWhen Marnie Was There

Commentary: I would have been happy if Anomalisa won this, but Inside Out just worked a little better, I think.

Best Animated ShortBear StoryPrologueSanjay's Super TeamWe Can't Live Without CosmosWorld of Tomorrow

Commentary: This award was presented by the Minions, which was very silly.

10:06pm – Chris Rock is having his daughter and her girl scout troop sell Girl Scout cookies at the ceremony.

10:00pm – BB-8, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear on stage, making the whole ceremony worth it, with a special shout out to John Williams, who has earned 50 Oscar nominations. C-3PO also calls the giant Oscar statue quite handsome, essentially confirming what we've suspected all along...he has a gold fetish.

Best Visual EffectsEx MachinaMad Max: Fury RoadThe MartianThe RevenantStar Wars: The Force Awakens

Commentary: This is a bit of an upset. It's not that Ex Machina didn't deserve it, but many though Star Wars or Mad Max would walk away with the prize.

Best Sound MixingBridge of SpiesMad Max: Fury RoadThe MartianThe RevenantStar Wars: The Force AwakensBest Sound EditingMad Max: Fury RoadThe MartianThe RevenantSicarioStar Wars: The Force Awakens

9:41pm – Black History Month minute honoring Jack Black was definitely chuckleworthy.

Best Film EditingThe Big ShortMad Max: Fury RoadThe RevenantSpotlightStar Wars: The Force Awakens

Commentary: Yep, Mad Max: Fury Road is taking home a bunch of technical awards for the night. Well-deserved win for this category, and The Big Short missing out on this one likely means it won't take home Best Picture.

Best Cinematography

Ed Lachman, Carol

Robert Richardson, The Hateful Eight

John Seale, Mad Max: Fury Road

Emmanuel Lubezki, The Revenant

Roger Deakins, Sicario

Commentary: Definitely deserved, but I still don't think the movie should take home Best Picture, but we'll see.

Best Makeup and HairstylingMad Max: Fury RoadThe 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and DisappearedThe Revenant

Commentary: Shiny and chrome! Witness!

Best Production DesignBridge of SpiesThe Danish GirlMad Max: Fury RoadThe MartianThe Revenant

Commentary: Mad Max: Fury Road for all the awards! This was no contest at all.

Best Costume Design

Sandy Powell, Carol

Sandy Powell, Cinderella

Paco Delgado, The Danish Girl

Jenny Beavan, Mad Max: Fury Road

Jacqueline West, The Revenant

Commentary: I can see Mad Max: Fury Road taking a bunch of technical awards but not getting any big prizes. I guess some is better than none.

Best Supporting Actress

Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight

Rooney Mara, Carol

Rachel McAdams, Spotlight

Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl

Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs

Commentary: It's her first Oscar, and while I wish she got it for Ex Machina, she's got a bright future with many more awards in it, I'm betting.

9:04pm – Sam Smith sings "Writing's on the Wall" from Spectre. Didn't realize I was going to have a challenge to not fall asleep so early. This song is terribly boring.

9:01pm – Stacey Dash appeared for some kind of joke that fell completely flat.

8:58pm – Whoopi Goldberg, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan add some diversity to some of the Oscar nominees' clips, imagining what they would be like with more black people. Leslie Jones in place of the bear in The Revenant was brilliant.

Best Adapted ScreenplayCharles Randolph and Adam McKay, The Big Short

Nick Hornby, Brooklyn

Phyllis Nagy, Carol

Drew Goddard, The Martian

Emma Donoghue, Room

Commentary: Another expected win for an absolutely brilliant script. How crazy is it that Adam McKay has an Academy Award now? So happy for him.

Best Original Screenplay

Matt Charman, Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen, Bridge of Spies

Alex Garland, Ex Machina

Pete Docter, Megg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley, Inside Out

Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy, Spotlight

Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff, Straight Outta Compton

Commentary: This was predicted to win, and I couldn't be happier that it did. Such a sharp script. Hope it takes Best Picture tonight.

The order of the awards has been changed up, going by the process of filmmaking, beginning with the scripts.

Seriously, Chris Rock really knocked this monologue out of the park. "It's not fair that Will Smith wasn't nominated. It's also not fair that Will Smith got paid $20 million for Wild Wild West." We'll be posting this monologue for the morning for sure.

Chris Rock comes out by calling the Oscars the White People's Choice Awards, not shying away from the controversy surrounding the lack of black nominees, so this is going to be a great monologue.

It's 8:30pm PT and we're off to the races, kicking off with a montage of clips from the films of 2015, including a bunch that weren't nominated for any awards. They all interact with each other in a way that we've seen in a bunch of year-end montages that we posted in December.
