The big surprise winner of the night was Tom McCarthy's Spotlight, the journalistic drama about the investigation of the Catholic Church abuse scandal in Boston. It won the first award of the night for Best Original Screenplay, but then didn't win another award until the final award of the night for Best Picture. It had been nominated for a total of 6 awards including the Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress (Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams respectively), as well as Best Director and Best Editing.
The presumed favourite, Alejandro G. Iñárritu The Revenant did pick up wins for Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio (finally!), Alejandro G. Iñárritu for Best Director for the second year in a row (only the third director to win back-to-back after John Ford and Joseph L. Mankiewicz), and Best Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki for the third year in a row (after Birdman and Gravity).
The most awards on the night went to Mad Max: Fury Road, which swept the below-the-line categories. It won for Editing and both of the sound categories, plus the design categories of Production Design, Costume Design and Makeup/Hairstyling.
Many films with multiple nominations ended up going home empty-handed including Carol, The Martian, Brooklyn and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
