After months of anticipation, the scaled-down Oscar ceremony took place this Sunday night, and it was one to remember. Several major records were set and Nomadland led the way as the biggest winner of the night with a total of three major awards.

In addition to winning the best picture, Nomadland made history in two additional categories. Chloé Zhao became the second woman to win the Oscar for the best director, while Frances McDormand won her third acting Oscar, becoming only the seventh person to do so.

Anthony Hopkins pulled a major upset with The Father, and became the oldest best actor winner, scooping the award from the expected winner Chadwick Boseman. The supporting acting awards were won by Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Youn Yuh-jung (Minari).

The list of movies to walk away with two awards includes The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Mank, Soul, and Sound of Metal. It was also a big night for Emerald Fennell, who won the best original screenplay award for Promising Young Woman, and Thomas Vinterberg, whose latest project Another Round was crowned as the best international film.

The 93rd Academy Awards took place on April 25th, and the ceremony was aired from Union Station and Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
