The biggest night in Hollywood took place on Sunday, February 28 with the celebration of the 88th Academy Awards, or Oscars, as we all know them by now. This event, commemorating the best of the year in film, kicked off with an amazing red carpet full of fringe, deep necklines, nude and bold lips, elegant tuxes, and jewelry to make Elizabeth Taylor jealous. But it wasn’t until the actual show began with Chris Rock calling out the Academy in a 10-minute-long monologue over the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, that we knew we were really in for a treat. Rock, as the host, took it upon him to remind everyone about racial issues that still prevail in this day and age through humorous skits and witty comments.
Although Chris Rock's comments resonated with the audience at the Dolby Theater and at home, the night was about celebrating all the people behind making the biggest films, and of couse, celebrating the winners, including “Max Mad: Fury Road,” a movie that took a total of six Oscars; Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who made history as a director to win two years in a row, this time for “The Revenant;” Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki, who won his third Oscar in a row for Best Cinematography, also for “The Revenant;” “Bear Story,” an animated short film by Chileans Gabriel Osorio and Pato Escala; and finally, an Oscar for Leonardo DiCaprio for his performance in “The Revenant.” It was long overdue after six nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role and never winning at the Academy Awards.
