The 93rd Academy Awards was a production reimagined due to the pandemic. There was no host, no audience, nor face masks for nominees attending the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station.
There were many historic wins Sunday night.
Two women were nominated for best director for the first time in the show's history. Chloé Zhao was nominated for her work on "Nomadland," and Emerald Fennell was nominated for directing "Promising Young Woman." Zhao took the Oscar Sunday night, making her just the second woman to win best director in the academy's 93 years (following Kathryn Bigelow for "The Hurt Locker"), and the first woman of color. Only five women have ever been nominated for the award in its entire history, reported the AP.
Yuh-Jung Youn accepted the award for best supporting actress in her role in the movie "Minari." She's the first Korean actor to win an Academy Award. It was the first Oscar nomination for the 73-year-old actress from South Korea.
Daniel Kaluuya won for best supporting actor for his work in the movie Judas and the Black Messiah." He won his first Academy Award for playing one of the two title roles in film.
“I’d like to thank my mom,” Kaluuya said, as his mother teared up while watching. “You gave me everything. You gave me your factory settings. So I could stand at my fullest height.”
Best actress went to Frances McDormand for "Nomadland," making it the second Oscar for McDormand in this category. She won best actress in 2018 for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”
Anthony Hopkins, who was not present at the award show, took the Oscar for best actor for his role as a man who battles with dementia in the movie "The Father." Hopkins' win came as a surprise, as Boseman was largely predicted to win the award posthumously.
