Hard-Hitting Oscar Shock: Mark Rylance Beat Rocky!

A beloved stage actor wins the Oscar for best supporting actor (in Steven Spielberg’s „Bridge of Spies“) at the 88th Academy Awards over presumed favorite Sylvester Stallone.
"It's a wonderful time to be an actor“, Mark Rylance says, „and I'm proud to be part of it."

One of the best interviews I've ever seen. This man is so humble, down-to-earth and wise, I love how he talked about the diversity issue.

[@racheldollton]

Such a brilliant actor. He was so remarkable in this interview.

+Rachel Dalton ...yes when being famous in films one has a greater audience far around to talk about important subjects such as discrimination or wars or (see eg his performance as the Peacebuilder - should create awareness for peacedirect) he does a lot of good things besides playing...great

[@axelstone3131]

It's nice what he said about sly. Respect. I feel like Stallone gets hardly any respect from anyone except his fans.

The best wining in Oscars night. Bravo!

[@wiselyong4114]

Congrats Mr Rylance! A subtle yet powerful perfomance

[@khi590]

congratulations to him and all the crew of that movie and to all others - its lovely to see his beautiful wife and daughter there, too, the dress is like a scenery of Japanese landscape painting with birds and flowers - lovely

[@pannie1000]

Simply great. What a lovely man, so modest.

[@maggiebodek]

What a great and humble man. It's not about him. It's about us. I love him.

Oscar loves British and foreign actors. Ruffalo is an incredible actor.

[@efcdk92]

+Sheila Bloom He's American, chief.

[@sheilabloom6735]

+efcdk92 Ruffalo didn't win; Rylance did.

[@efcdk92]

Sheila Bloom Aye, but you said Ruffalo.

+efcdk92 She's talking about american Ruffalo being overlooked in favor of british Rylance.

[@lolavences3593]

+Sheila Bloom ruffalo soon will have its oscar (as the leo which has already won)

‘’…well, mostly a (very enjoyable) marketing device, but …. Acting’s not a sport, you know, it is a craft.’’ 👌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼

[@lolavences3593]

oscars are based on campaigns, done to convince voters Mr. did not campaign and yet I win

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

Mark Rylance won over Stallone..... lol wut??? Thanks Academy, you ruined what could've been one the greatest moments in Oscar history. And yes, I think he deserved more than Rylance. Even though Rylance gave a subtle yet powerful performance, Stallone gave a vulnerable and honest performance that was better in the end.

[@flufftronification]

Stallone couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, seems like a great guy and I like him but he was the worst in that category

[@axelstone3131]

Sly is one of the most disrespected, and under appreciated actors in Hollywood. People can't separate him from the character of Rocky. People don't seem to understand that Rocky isn't Stallone. He doesn't talk like that, walk the same or behave in the same way. Stallone's acting in Rocky is so good, people think he's really like that in real life lol. Incredible. I don't think any other actor has ever convinced so many people that they truly are that character more than him.

[@axelstone3131]

+G Bear Stallone can't act? You sound as forgetful and ignorant as the rest of his haters. You contribute nothing but toxic hate.

[@Lone432345]

G Bear i know that Rylance can act. Because a bunch of hipster douchebags tell me that all you need to do to win an Oscar. Is have a Blank Expression on your face for 30 minutes.
