The Revenant, which had a leading 12 noms, and Spotlight were the only other films to win multiple awards, with three and two respectively.

Iñárritu and Leonardo DiCaprio. Mark Rylance went on to win Best Supporting Actor for Bridge of Spies, beating the sentimental favorite Sylvester Stallone for Creed. Alicia Vikander swept up Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl in a category that looked Kate Winslet had is sown up for her role in Steve Jobs.
