Filmmaker Chloe Zhao, who won the best director award for her work on ‘Nomadland’, which also won the best picture award
The 93rd annual Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre and Union Station was historic in more ways than one, making the wait for the Oscars, due to COVID, totally worth it.
According to Fox News, this year’s ceremony no doubt looked different due to the coronavirus drastically reducing the number of attendees and shifting the musical performances from their usual time slots to a pre-show before the ceremony. Still, it was one of the year’s starriest nights. Celebrities like Sacha Baron Cohen, Amanda Seyfried, and more appeared in hopes of walking away with a golden statuette while others like Halle Berry and Harrison Ford presented the awards.
This year had already been a historical one for the Academy, with a record number of female nominees for best director, as well as actors like Steven Yeun and Riz Ahmed, becoming the first Asian American and Muslim actors, respectively, to be nominated for their leading performances.
‘Nomadland‘ became the only three-time winner at the ceremony, with ‘The Father’, ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’, ‘Mank’, ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, ‘Sound of Metal’ and ‘Soul’ as the other multiple winners.
In addition to the winners, the Oscars saw Tyler Perry and the Motion Picture and Television Fund (MPTF) honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the first time the Academy has awarded two recipients.
Variety reported that all nominees and guests had to have a minimum of two COVID-19 PCR tests performed by the Academy’s vendor and a total of three tests in the week leading up to the telecast.
