All of the nominees and winners are listed below, but first here’s the deal with Sam Smith’s mostly-wonderful acceptance speech. Via Vanity Fair:
When Sam Smith took the stage on Sunday night to accept his Oscar for best original song, for the Spectre theme he co-wrote with James Napier, he incorrectly paraphrased a statement Ian McKellen made about the lack of openly gay Oscar winners.
During his speech, Smith said that he heard McKellen make a statement about the Academy Awards never before recognizing an openly gay man, confessing that he was not sure whether or not that was true. Either way, Smith continued, “I stand here tonight as a proud gay man and I hope we can all stand together as equals one day.”
Within seconds, the Twitter-sphere erupted, wondering whether or not an openly gay man had won the award. The answer to that is yes, an example being Dustin Lance Black, who won the 2009 original-screenplay award for Milk. But Smith also misheard McKellen’s quote.
Last month, the actor told The Guardian that he sympathized with black actors because, “No openly gay man has ever won the Oscar; I wonder if that is prejudice or chance.” Referring to the acting categories, McKellen pointed out that straight actors have won the award for playing gay—like Tom Hanks, Jared Leto, Sean Penn, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. “How clever, how clever,” McKellen said. “What about giving me one for playing a straight man?”
