Oscars 2021: The winners' list in full
In case you missed it!
The 2021 Oscars – or the 93rd Academy Awards, to give them their full, official title – were handed out on Sunday night, with history made more than once. Most notably, Nomadland director Chloé Zhao became the first Asian woman to lift the directing trophy, while Minari's Youn Yuh-jung was named the second Asian woman to win for acting.
With a producing team that included Steven Soderbergh, this year's ceremony looked to eschew the Zoompocalypse that has afflicted so many award events this year (and lots of our lives). The physical, in-person aspect was back as much as possible.
The event was hosted mostly at LA's Union Station (with some moments at the ceremony's usual haunt of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, eerily empty), and had the vibe of a nightclub more than a traditional gong show. Mostly, it was about the makers and performers.
The speeches were allowed to run as long as needed, and there was a pleasing focus on talking up those nominated rather than long clip packages about certain films or random movie-adjacent subjects. It was inclusive, diverse and felt refreshing if still slightly strange thanks to the necessary safety protocols, but took an unusual left turn when the Best Picture award was given out before the main acting categories.
Brits did well, with Emerald Fennell scoring Best Screenplay for Promising Young Woman and Daniel Kaluuya taking home Best Supporting Actor, while making his poor mum blush while talking about his parents having sex.
There were a lot of expected winners – Soul triumphed again, the Ma Rainey's Black Bottom team got more awards for their hair, make-up and costuming efforts, while Nomadland was the Best Picture, even if it didn't quite win everything that it might have.
