Oscar Awards 2016: Ten rarities, surprises and disappointments of delivery – La Nacion (Argentina)

It was a ceremony marked by political and no clear winner, with some oversights and grandstanding; the sharp humor, the trademark of his driver, Chris Rock

Winning Quartet: Mark Rylance, Brie Larson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Alicia Vikander.

1- Triunfo dull. The award for best film for on the front page can be just the quality of research and reporting of sex abuse within the church, but the film Tom McCarthy was far from making history. In fact, almost she made history for having won only two awards (also won the original screenplay). One must go back to 1952 to find a similar case ( The World biggest show).

2- Political Correctness. The scathing and sharp driving Chris Rock -very higher than he had in 2005 was virtually monopolized by the controversy over the lack of diversity in Hollywood and the fact that there were no African-American candidates. Special segments also bet on the subject with a parodic tone. To complete a night of complaints, Vice President Joe Biden also made a plea against sexual abuse (in this case in the field of universities) before Lady Gaga sing “Til It Happens to You” while Sam Smith spoke favor of gay rights and Leonardo DiCaprio chose an ecological discourse.

3 Latin American Achievement. the Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu became the third director to win two Oscars consecutively (in 2015 he had obtained by Birdman ). Only they had done before John Ford and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Meanwhile, his compatriot Emmanuel Lubezki won his third statuette followed after Gravity and said Birdman . It is the seventh artist in history to achieve such a feat. Meanwhile, Chile held its first Oscar in the animated short Bear Story , while Colombia could not celebrate with The embrace of the snake , which lost to the Hungarian the son of Saul (another film about the Holocaust rewarded).

4 actorales Hallows. the award for DiCaprio was one of the most predictable and expected the night. It was the final ratification of his star status by the Academy after many frustrations. He also was a triumphant night for the young Brie Larson (26 years), distinguished by The room ; and the Swedish Alicia Vikander (27) by The Danish Girl .

5- Surprises. Mark Rylance won the award for best actor for Bridge of spies , and while his performance had been praised and rewarded, much bet that Sylvester Stallone was the winner by Creed . Few also hoped the triumph of Sam Smith with “Writing’s on the Wall”, the theme of 007 Spectre . Another unexpected result was in the area of ​​visual effects, where the modest Ex Machina beat the champion of the box office, Star Wars:. The awakening of force

6 technical Awards . Beyond the aforementioned cases, Mad Max: Fury on the road had a great night in the technical areas and stayed with six awards. He doubled his most immediate pursuer: Revenant: The reborn , although he stayed with the win in the major categories

7- absolute Losers <.. i> Mission rescue (which had seven nominations), Carol (six) and the episode 7 Star Wars (five) went empty-handed, like Brooklyn, Sicario and Steve Jobs , among others.

8- ovations. the audience at the Dolby Theatre I stood up several times. He did it when he appeared Biden, but also, for example, to greet the first Oscar for the legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who at 87 won his first award for The 8 most hated , Quentin Tarantino . The Italian musician had already received an honorary Oscar in 2007.

9- Omissions. Among the most contentious aspects of the evening was the absence of a director of the French Jacques category Rivette in the in Memoriam segment, which had Dave Grohl on the musical accompaniment. Neither included in the tribute to the Polish Andrzej Zulawski, although there were other figures such as the Belgian Chantal Akerman and David Bowie, among many others who died during the past year.

10- Discourses. in a long and full of contrasts night, the comic genius Louis CK had one of the most hilarious interventions when touched introduce the category of animated short while Iñárritu bored with a pretentious down line on the meaning of art.
