Bohemian Rhapsody was the big winner at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, topping all other films as it took home the Oscar in four categories.
At the same time, the film's disgraced director Bryan Singer proved to be the big loser of the night, with not one person mentioning his name as they collected their statues.
This included star Rami Malek, who won the Best Actor trophy, and the winner of Best Editing, John Ottoman, who has worked with Singer on every single one of the director's projects since 1988 when he made his very first short film.
Singer may not be too bothered by this slight however, with Rhapsody's wins at the ceremony sure to boost the film's box office which is already at $850 million.
A source with knowledge of negotiations between Singer and Fox told DailyMail.com that should the box office cross the $1 billion mark, the director would be taking home over $50 million for his work on he film - despite being fired before production wrapped on the picture.

Mud on your face, big disgrace: Bohemian Rhapsody won four Oscars on Sunday night, more than any other film (Bryan Singer above in December)
Anyway the wind blows: Not one of the winners, including Best Actor Rami Malek (above), made any mention of Bryan Singer, who was fired with two weeks left on the film
None of the winners at the Oscars on Sunday actually took a stand and denounced the director either, who has been accused of raping underage boys multiple times over the past decade, with allegations going back as far as 1998 on the set of his film Apt Pupil.
Those allegations were well known before Rhapsody went into production, though Malek has claimed multiple times to have been unaware of the accusations that multiple young men had made against the director.
Singer has denied all allegations of sexual abuse.
Singer was fired by the studio just two weeks before principal photography was set to be completed on Bohemian Rhapsody for his erratic behavior and long absences from set.
The source who spoke with DailyMail.com said that Singer did have a back-end deal in place after agreeing to take a sightly lower fee to direct the picture.
That source said that the current box office haul for the film far exceeds even the loftiest projection by the studio, but estimated that Singer would end up with at least $50 million if it does reach $1 billion at the box office.
On the higher end of the scale, the source said that Singer's back-end might be in the low nine-figure range if Rhapsody becomes one of the less than 40 films to make over $1 billion at the global box office.
There is also a chance that Singer gets nothing if there was a morality clause in his contract, and he was somehow found to be violation due to his behavior.
The source seemed to think that the studio would rather pay out the disgraced director and be done with it rather than drag out the situation.
Documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that at least five men pursued cases against Singer in 2014, all alleging that they were sexually abused by the X-Men director.
The documents also include the settlement agreement that was offered to Michael Egan after he filed complaints in California and Hawaii alleging that the director had raped and sodomized him while forcing him to snort cocaine at his Los Angeles home.
Singer denied those allegations at the time through his attorney, and two months later agreed to a settlement deal that would pay Egan $100,000 once the cases in Hawaii and California had been dismissed from the court.
What was not noted at the time however was the fact that Egan had already won $1 million in a suit he filed a decade prior against Singer's business partner Marc Collins-Rector.
Singer and Collins-Rector had worked together on Digital Entertainment Network, which was set for a$75 million IPO in 1999 when Collins-Rector was accused of sexually assaulting Egan, Mark Ryan and X-Men star Alexander Burton.
Lawyers for Egan and the other accusers did not respond to requests for comment.
Egan opted not to take the deal, but at least one
