The Oscars are, of course, technically about ****** — but music made*the (second (http://mashable.com/2016/02/28/chris-rocks-oscars-mo**logue/)) biggest statement of the night, thanks to Lady Gaga.
The singer and songwriter sent a message of support to*victims of ***ual assault everywhere with her stunning*performance of "Til It Happens to You." Amy, a chilling and touching documentary on Amy Winehouse's rise to fame, won Best Documentary Feature. N.W.A. biopic*Straight Outta Compton*was **ticeably absent from the show — but host Chris Rock was sure to point that out (http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/oscars/6890567/chris-rock-compton-movie-theater-interview-oscars-2016).
Relive the*night in music below:

There was **thing wrong with Sam Smith's performance of the Spectre theme. But there was **thing particularly stunning*about it, either*— especially by the end of the night, his rendition mostly rings forgettable.*(Did anyone else wish it had been*Radiohead on the stage instead (http://www.spin.com/2015/12/radiohead-spectre-james-bond-theme-song-stream/)?)
