I’m glad to see another Bond theme take home the statue (Lord knows, it was one of the better things about the rather blah Spectre), but after hearing the Gaga song, I was kind of rooting for that one. ---

Wow, 2 in a row, the Mexican director did win it also for directing _Birdman_ last year. Suck on that Trump! 🙂 ---

Congrats for Brie Larson on her award for her excellent performance! Though the biggest Oscar snub this year wasn’t based on race, IMO, it was age. Jacob Tremblay deserved a nom. Damn he was amazing in “Room”! ---
