What a lovely day. Mad Max: Fury Road may not have won either of the major awards it was nominated for (Best Film and George Miller for Best Director), but it did take home 6 out of a potential 10 Oscars which is very impressive indeed. The movie was awarded Best costume design, Best production design, Best make-up and hair, Best editing, Best sound editing, and Best sound mixing.
The biggest news was of course Leonardo DiCaprio's long-awaited Best Actor award for The Revenant, while Alejandro González Iñárritu won Best Director for that movie, and surprising everyone with the Best Film win was Spotlight. Below are the full list of winners in the major categories.
