Not everyone was convinced of the film as victor, however, with journalists, commentators and onlookers rushing to Twitter to vent their dissatisfaction with the Best Picture result.

Many honed in on the film's themes around racism and police brutality, embodied by Rockwell's character, Officer Jason Dixon.

Some argued against interpreting the film as "racist."

The film is currently sitting at 93 percent with critics on Rotten Tomatoes. There will be some expectations that it will get Best Picture at the Academy Awards. We'll just have to wait and see if it gets an nomination first -- they're announced on Jan. 23.
