Oscars 2021: Full list of winners as Nomadland director Chloe Zhao makes history
ITV News Arts Editor Nina Nannar runs through the ceremony's standout moments
Director Chloé Zhao made history at the Oscars as her road movie Nomadland snapped up three big prizes.
The movie - which centres on an American woman who loses everything in the Great Recession and begins living in a van as a nomad - won best film, best director and best actress.
The 93rd Academy Awards also saw Sir Anthony Hopkins win the best actor Oscar, defeating the late Chadwick Boseman, while Daniel Kaluuya won the best supporting actor prize.
Attendance at the Oscars was limited to 170 people this year due to the pandemic. Audience members rotated in and out during the ceremony.
International nominees accepted their prizes from remote hubs. Many British nominees gathered at the BFI in London's Southbank.
The prizes were mainly handed out at Union Station in Los Angeles as producers said they wanted the ceremony to resemble a film.
Chloe Zhao's big win
Zhao, who was born in China, is the second woman in history to win the award for directing, and the first from an ethnically diverse background.
“I have always found goodness in the people I’ve met everywhere I went in the world,” said Zhao when accepting her award.
The only other woman to win the directing prize is Kathryn Bigelow, who was honoured for The Hurt Locker in 2010.
The movie's star Frances McDormand also scooped up the best actress prize.
McDormand, who has now won three best actress Oscars, howled on stage as the film won the best picture gong.
It was a tribute to Nomadland production sound mixer Michael Wolf Snyder, who died at the age of 35 earlier this year.
Sir Anthony wins best actor
Sir Anthony, 83, who did not attend the ceremony, is the oldest winner of the best actor category. He won for his performance in The Father, about a man slipping into dementia, defeating presumptive favourite Boseman.
Boseman, who died last year aged 43 after being diagnosed with colon cancer, was nominated for his performance as an ambitious trumpeter in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
Some social media users reacted with fury, saying they believed Boseman would win the prize after the best actor category was moved to the end of the ceremony.
Sir Anthony posted a video on Instagram on Monday morning paying tribute to Boseman.
In it, he said: "Good morning, here I am in my homeland in Wales. And at 83 years of age, I did not expect to get this award, I really didn't, and I'm very grateful to the academy and thank you.
"And I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too early, and again, thank you all very much."
He chuckles and then adds: "I really did not expect this, so I feel very privileged and honoured."
Daniel Kaluuya wins best supporting actor
Kaluuya, who was born in London to Ugandan parents, is the first black British winner of the best supporting actor prize. He was awarded for his portrayal of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in Judas And The Black Messiah.
In his acceptance speech, Kaluuya told of his admiration for Hampton, who was shot and killed by police in Chicago in 1969 when he was 21.
“When they played divide and conquer, we say unite and ascend,” Kaluuya said.
He said: “There’s so much work to do guys and that’s on everyone in this room. This ain’t no single man job. We’ve got work to do."
He thanked Hampton for showing him “how to love myself” and added: “You’ve got to celebrate life, man. We’re breathing. We’re walking. It’s incredible. My mum met my dad, they had sex, it’s amazing. I’m here. I’m so happy to be alive so I’m going to celebrate that tonight.”
Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell wins best original screenplay
British filmmaker Emerald Fennell won best original screenplay for her directorial debut Promising Young Woman and fought back tears as she delivered her acceptance speech.
The filmmaker, who was also pregnant during the shoot, joked she was crossing her legs during production.
She paid tribute to the cast and crew, who made the film over a 23-day shoot.
Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller won the prize for best adapted screenplay for their work on the drama film The Father.
Youn Yuh-Jung is first Korean actor to win Oscar
Youn Yuh-Jung won the best supporting actress prize for Minari. She is the first Korean actress to win an Oscar award.
She joked about meeting actor Brad Pitt in person, as he announced her win. She said: “Where were you while we were filming in person?”
She questioned how she could win over fellow nominee Glenn Close, and paid tribute to other nominees, saying she “doesn’t believe in competition”.
Mentioning her children she said: “My two boys who made me go out and work… this is the result because mummy worked so hard…”.
The ceremony took place after a two-month delay as cinemas around the world closed for months on end and productions were disrupted in 2020.
