The 10 Biggest Surprises Of The 2016 Oscars

7) Witness! Mad Max Is The Biggest Winner Of The Night

The 2016 Oscars must have been doubly hard for Roger Deakins to swallow, as while he’s been patiently waiting 21 years for his first award, Mad Max: Fury Road casually racked up six wins in just a couple of hours. While nobody ever expected Fury Road to be crowned Best Picture, the film still managed to perform even better in its other categories than predicted.

Overall, Fury Road took home six Oscars, including one for Editing – an award The Big Short was expected to win – and Costume Design, with the better-favored period pieces like The Danish Girl and Carol missing out. With all said and done, Mad Max: Fury Road was the biggest winner of the night, with six nods to closest rival The Revenant‘s three.
