Oscars 2016: Spotlight Surprises With Best Picture Win

A genuinely surprising Oscars wrapped with Tom McCarthy's Spotlight winning Best Picture over equally likely contenders The Revenant and The Big Short. Mad Max: Fury Road cleaned up the technical awards, which wasn't surprising, but Mark Rylance beating out Sylvester Stallone for Best Supporting Actor sure was. Despite five nominations, Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn't pick up a single award (but droids C-3PO, R2-D2 and BB-8 did make an appearance on stage), and Carol, nominated in six categories, was also blanked.
