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.
