They were a long time coming, but the 93rd Academy Awards proved to be well worth the wait – with a star-studded ceremony taking place across various venues in LA last night.
As many had precited, Nomadland proved to be the most successful film on the night, walking away with three massive awards in the shape of Best Picture, Best Director for Chloe Zhao and Best Actress for Frances McDormand.
Perhaps the biggest shock was the win in the Best Actor category for Sir Anthony Hopkins, who won ahead of the late Chadwick Boseman and became the oldest person ever to be awarded an acting Oscar in the process.
Hopkins was one of a few Brits to win major awards, with Daniel Kaluuya earning a golden statuette for his supporting turn in Judas and the Black Messiah and Emerald Fennell winning the award for Best Original Screenplay.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Minari’s Youn Yuh-jung for Best Supporting Actress, while Best Animated film went to Pixar’s Soul and Best Documentary went to Netflix’s My Octopus Teacher.
The Oscars normally take place in February, of course, but the event was moved to April due to the continued effect of the pandemic, meaning it’s been well over a year since Parasite was crowned Best Picture winner last year.
With an extended eligibility window and a lack of tentpole releases in the past year, the nominations list for the Oscars 2021 was perhaps a slightly less high-profile affair than usual, but there was still no shortage of excellent films in contention.
When the nominations were revealed last month, David Fincher’s biopic Mank led the pack with eight nods, while several British actors were all up for major awards – including Gary Oldman (Mank), Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Olivia Colman (The Father).
