Amid high brow Oscar-worthy dramas like Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea was a nomination for Suicide Squad.
The DC film surprised movie fans with its shock win for Best Makeup & Hairstyling, collected by Alessandro Bertolazzi, Giorgio Gregorini and Christopher Nelson.
The prize came despite receiving a hammering from the critics last August, gaining just 26% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
DC fans were ecstatic on social media, with some mocking Marvel for not winning an Oscar, despite much more favourable reviews for its comic book films.
