Oscars 2016: Spotlight wins Best Picture

Tom McCarthy’s Spotlight, about the Boston Globe investigation into sex abuse in the Catholic Church, won Best Picture at the 2016 Academy Awards.
“This film gave a voice to survivors, and this Oscar amplifies that voice, which we hope will become a choir that will resonate all the way to the Vatican,” producer Michael Sugar said in his acceptance speech.
“Pope Francis, it’s time to protect the children and restore the faith.”
Producer Blye Pagon Faust praised the journalists behind the investigation.
“We would not be here today without the heroic efforts of our reporters,” she said.
“Not only to they effect global change, but they absolutely show us the necessity for investigative journalism.”
