Tbh, it won the standard awards like Costume etc but still good I guess.

I was very pleased for Mad Max and Spotlight.

I'm such a fan of Bryan Cranston though and I'm so glad he's be recognised for his talents in film now. <br /><br />I don't think Spotlight should have won Best Picture although it's definitely a great film. Personally, I think The Revenant should have taken it's place but it was ultimately very powerful and an important film. <br /><br />Again, Brie Larson was the stand out performance so I was very pleased with her win :) Didn't think this year was as emotional as past years but loved it all the same and managed to stay awake all night haha. <br /><br />Were you pleased with the results, Gil? Hope you're having a good week so far :) Sophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-87978003769859269792016-03-01T10:41:41.256+00:002016-03-01T10:41:41.256+00:00Aw amazing - what did you think of the results?

I think there's definitely a system each year for sure. Managed to stay up all the way through and couldn't get to sleep afterwards haha xSophie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849135026944731332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-16465044154764652772016-02-29T02:00:54.406+00:002016-02-29T02:00:54.406+00:00I'm watching it as we speak, Sophie! 100% agre...I'm watching it as we speak, Sophie! 100% agree with your predictions I'm very much enjoying the choices so far. Chris Rock is excellent. I hope you get to stay awake as I had no idea it started so late for you Brits. Good luck XD<br /><br />Ashley Christie<br />imamovienerd.wordpress.comAshley Christiehttps://imamovienerd.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633103281532247659.post-6914290946835208682016-02-28T19:19:44.571+00:002016-02-28T19:19:44.571+00:00I am rooting for Leo to win but I was very impress...I am rooting for Leo to win but I was very impressed by Bryan Cranston in Trumbo which is based on a true story. For anyone not familiar with it, it's about a screenwriter in mid-twentieth century America who was denied the ability to make a living under his own name because of his political activity and beliefs. This happened because of the communist hysteria of that time. We have to be careful as we tackle complex issues of today like immigration and terrorism that we don't get into the same type of hysteria which can ruin people's lives. Now (as then), there are unscrupulous people who will fear-monger these subjects to further their own personal agendas. <br /><br />I also admire Spotlight for showing how a news organization investigated for years before releasing a story that was of huge importance (the Catholic Church and pedophile priests). With news organizations being cut and turned into entertainment organizations, we need to celebrate people who do this type of journalism.<br /><br />I'll also be happy if Brie Larson wins for Room, which was devastating to watch. I thought Fassbender and Winslet delivered some great performances, showing how difficult and unique a person Steve Jobs was. I still have to watch Joy and of course I agree that The Force Awakens was just wonderful. Have a great time watching and I hope you aren't too bleary-eyed tomorrow, Sophie!Gilhttp://greek-arete.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
