2016 Academy Awards

In the past year some of my favorite films have been released and last night on February 28, the Academy nominated who the best was.

The obvious award everyone wanted to see was Leonardo Dicaprio winning best actor for the Revenant. And not only did he win best actor, but Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu won best director as well. The Revenant had to be filmed over a prolonged period of time due to the climate. Being filmed in northern Canada/Alaska there was very little daylight, so the cast would spend the non-film time rehearsing for perfection. Leonardo Dicaprio preformed amazingly by portraying the role of Hugh Glass, a 19th century fur hunter and navigator. Inarritu also did an extraordinary job filming and choreographing the cast in the movie.

Brie Larson won best actress for the movie The Room, which was a fictional portrayal of non-fictional accounts of woman being kidnapped and locked away in someones house. The story being very dramatic, Brie Larson did a very sentimental performance with Jacob Tremblay, the son she had while locked away.
