Vikander wins best supporting actress at Oscars

Although Mr Beck and Mr Aresden will not be at the Academy Awards ceremony, they are hoping Mad Max is recognised with Oscar success.

The category appears to be a fait accompli for Room’s Brie Larson, who collected every lead-up award and bookmakers have installed her at red hot favourite odds of 1/25. However, rivals in the best picture category have managed to win over American critics.

“Spotlight, ‘ about child abuse in the Catholic Church, and Wall Street satire ‘The Big Short” look like safe bets for the original and adapted screenplay honors after being recognized by the Writers Guild.

The triumphs of Mad Max: Fury Road mean Australia has achieved a record haul of Oscars. Last night she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in “The Danish Girl”.

The huge upset of the evening was in supporting actor, which went to Mark Rylance as a pawn in global intrigue in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies.

The film also won Best Costume Design, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing awards, but missed out the gongs for Best Picture, Best Director, Visual Effects.

Mad Max: Fury Road is now the most successful Australian film at the Oscars, taking winning six awards. Alejandro Inarritu repeated as best director (he won for Birdman last year), becoming only the third director to win consecutive awards, and the third consecutive Mexican-born victor. Many worldwide movies nominated for Oscars 2016 and in that Mad Max Fury Road grabs the attention of all eyes with tremendous performance.

“The Revenant’s” best picture loss may have been an upset, but it is a big hit at the box office. That’s rather incredible if you dismiss Fury Road as one long auto chase populated by psychopaths obsessed with gasoline and water, draining each other for blood, rife with explosions and crossbows and flame-spewing guitars. “She was like, “This is a big, action movie, why do you think I could do it?’, and I said, ‘Because it will be different to all the other big, action movies”.

Best documentary short subject: “Body Team 12”, “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness”, “Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah”, “Chau, Beyond the Lines”, “Lasy Day of Freedom”.

Whatever. Those guys would’ve been swallowed whole by the Fury Road a long time ago.
