In late February 2016 in the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Oscar-winning awards ceremony was held. Even before it began, the organizers received accusations of racism, because in the categories that nominated the actors, there was not a single person with black skin.
Moreover, many celebrities simply ignored the ceremony this year. And after its end it became known that over the last seven years this broadcast had the lowest rating. But this is not all the surprises of the Oscar 2016.
Nomination "Best song for the film"
It was in this nomination that Sam Smith received an Oscar in 2016. He was awarded the award for the song Writing's on the Wall, which became the soundtrack for the James Bond film. The awards were given to the authors of the words and music, which were Jimmy Neps and Sam Smith.
The nominees Sam Smith and Lady Gaga at the Oscar 2016 were competitors. The composition from the movie "Hunting Area", written by Gaga, was also nominated.
But still remembered by the audience at the ceremony, as well as the audience around the world, Sam Smith's speech at the Oscar 2016. Speaking after the award, he announced that he was dedicating his victory to the LGBT community. Further added that, according to his information, he became the first known homosexual to whom Oscar was awarded. After the ceremony, Sam confessed that he considered his speech to be terrible and hated every minute of it.
Sam Smith "left" from Twitter
After a thank-you speech at the ceremony on the author's page on Twitter, a stormy discussion unfolded. Actor Ian McKellan, to whose phrase Smith referred in his speech, wrote that this was said exclusively about the actors.
Then playwright Dustin Lance Black, not hiding his orientation, reminded him that in 2009 he also received an Oscar as best screenwriter. The subscribers of the musician joined the discussion, who were ready to tell not about one case, when the reward was given to a homosexual. In particular, they mentioned the author Howard Ashman, who was twice awarded an Oscar. And then Smith, trying to save the situation, wrote that he needed to go to see Ashman. With a man who died more than twenty years ago.

In the end, after several apparently failed posts, Sam apologized to Black and wrote that for a while he will not appear on Twitter. Apparently, he really needs time to think about everything.
