The Oscars officially took place last night, two months later than usual, and – after a strange and disruptive year for the industry due to the pandemic – was one full of upsets and precedent-breaking awards. Taking place in a unique manner, the event was an in-person event which took place simultaneously at both the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and the Union Station in Los Angeles.
Nomadland took best picture, best director for Chloe Zhao (making her only the second woman ever to claim the award) and best actress for Frances McDormand. Daniel Kaluuya claimed best supporting actor for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah and Yuh-Jung Youn won best supporting actress for her role in Minari and became the first Korean to win an Oscar. Our very own documentary, My Octopus Teacher walked away with the award for best documentary feature. Some of the
