A recap of last night’s Oscar winners

Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth film in the franchise’s history.

The acting nominees restored “OscarsSoWhite” to prominence and led Spike Lee (an honorary Oscar victor this year) and Jada Pinkett Smith to announce that they wouldn’t attend the show.

Adapted screenplay: “The Big Short”. The Revenant had 12 nominations, the most of any film, and Iñárritu won for Best Director, often a sign of what’s to come in the Best Picture category.

After no actors of color were nominated for this year’s Awards, Hollywood’s hotly discussed diversity problem was a through-line to the entire event.

The “Spotlight” team, which won the first and last prize of the night – best original screenplay and best picture – and nothing else, celebrated the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of The Boston Globe journalists who exposed sex abuses in the Roman Catholic Church and the conversation the film has renewed around the world.

Previous South African winners at the Oscars include director Gavin Hood for the movie Tsotsi, winning Best Foreign Language film in 2006, and producer Eric Abraham for the Polish film Ida, which won Best Foreign Language film a year ago.

At the awards in Los Angeles on Monday, Margaret Sixel won the Oscar for film editing for Fury Road, Jenny Beavan for costume design, Mark Mangini and David White for sound editing, Chris Jenkins, Gregg Rudloff and Ben Osmo for sound mixing and Colin Gibson and Lisa Thompson won for production design.

The 88th Academy Awards are airing from Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre.

Rock also sought to add perspective to the turmoil.

Costume Design: “Mad Max: Fury Road”.

A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness, a documentary about a Pakistani girl shot in the face by her own family, won the Academy Award for best documentary short.

Original Song: “Writing’s on the Wall” from “Spectre”. The music for the film was composed by Ennio Morricone.

Hollywood hits the Oscars red carpet Sunday for its annual show of glitz and pageantry honoring cinema’s finest – with a broiling row over diversity an awkward guest at the party.

Priyanka Chopra looked stunning at the Oscars.

The error drew swift condemnation – and an apology from Total Beauty, which said it would be donating $10,000 to Goldberg and Winfrey’s charity of choice.

Check out Priyanka’s tweet after the award ceremony.

“It’s not enough to listen and agree”, said Boone Isaacs. “I’m proud of you”, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a fellow action star, said in a short video he posted online.
