Blogathon 28/16: Those 2016 Oscar Results

While most of us (in this fine country) are tucked up in bed dreaming of finer things, the 2016 Oscars will be taking place.

However I’ve just got back from a round trip in my home-made teleportime machine, so I can tell you all about the 2016 Oscar results, so you don’t need read about it tomorrow.

It was a glittering, star-studded night at the Dolby Theatre in sunny southern California.

The smog was hardly noticeable as the great and good of the film industry applauded themselves in to their seats and listened to the nominations and winners (and losers).

Here, as witnessed by my own eyes just yesterday, are the final Oscar results*:
