Oscars 2016 Highlights, Winners And Top Moments

Live updates on the 88th annual Academy Awards.

Even before the 88th annual Academy Awards kicked off on Sunday night, Hollywood stars began weighing in on the ceremony's lack of diversity on social media.

The Oscars are today! You know, the awards show where Leonardo DiCaprio is "overdue" but black people can "wait till next year."

Know why I hate "why is diversity so important" question? It implies matter should be UP FOR DEBATE. As if LACK of diversity could be valid.
