The film 鈥淪potlight鈥� was named the best picture of the year at the 2016 Oscars ceremony.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio of "The Revenant" and "Room" actress Brie Larson took the best actor and best actress Oscars, respectively, while actress Alicia Vikander of "The Danish Girl" and "Bridge of Spies" actor Mark Rylance won the best supporting actress and best supporting actor Oscars, respectively.

Alejandro G. I帽谩rritu聽won the Oscar for best director for his work on the film "The Revenant," commenting during his speech that he wished there would be a time in which "the color of the skin becomes as irrelevant as the length of our hair."

At the beginning of the show, host Chris Rock didn鈥檛 wait to address the controversy raised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominating an all-white group of actors for the second year in a row.聽

鈥淚 counted at least 15 black people in that montage,鈥� Rock said following an opening video segment of clips of films that were released in 2015.

The comedian then joked that the Oscars are 鈥渙therwise known as the White People鈥檚 Choice Awards.鈥�

鈥淲e want opportunity,鈥� Rock said during his opening monologue. 鈥淲e want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors 鈥� that鈥檚 it. That鈥檚 it, you know? You know, not just once. Leo[nardo DiCaprio] gets a great part every year鈥� but what about the black actors?鈥�

Rock also commented on the continuing controversy over police brutality during his monologue.聽

鈥淭his year in the 鈥業n Memoriam鈥� package, it鈥檚 just going to be black people that were shot by the cops on their way to the movies,鈥� he said.聽

Those behind the Oscars continued commenting on issues of race with video segments including one in which African-American actors like Whoopi Goldberg and Tracy Morgan were added to Oscar-nominated movies like 鈥淛oy鈥� and 鈥淭he Danish Girl.鈥� Rock himself showed up as a 鈥渂lack astronaut鈥� whom NASA staffers played by Jeff Daniels and Kristen Wiig decided against saving, unlike 鈥淢artian鈥� protagonist Mark Watney (Matt Damon).聽

A later clip showed Rock talking with moviegoers in Compton about the lack of diversity among acting nominees and which Oscar-nominated films they'd seen. (Answer: not many of them.)聽

"You give black actors more awards聽because they deserve聽it and they work hard for聽it just like anybody else," one moviegoer said of the lack of actors of color who were nominated for Oscars.

As for the rest of the ceremony, artists including Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, and The Weeknd took to the stage to perform some of their Oscar-nominated songs. Gaga's song "If It Happens To You" appeared in the documentary "The Hunting Ground," which looked at sexual assault on college campuses, and Vice President Joe Biden appeared before Gaga's performance to discuss sexual assault and urge the audience to take action. "We must and we can change the culture so that no abused woman or man, like the survivors you will see tonight, ever feel they have to ask themselves, 鈥榃hat did I do?鈥�" Biden said. "They did nothing wrong."

The best original song prize eventually went to Sam Smith's "Writing on the Wall," which appeared in the James Bond film "Spectre." Smith dedicated his Oscar to the LGBT community.

Meanwhile, the movie 鈥淪potlight鈥� won the Oscar for best original screenplay, while the film 鈥淭he Big Short鈥� took the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay.

The dystopian action film 鈥淢ad Max: Fury Road鈥� took several tech awards, including best production design, best costume design, best film editing, best sound editing, best sound mixing, and best makeup and hairstyling.聽
