Here are the 2021 Oscar winners

It’s a different Oscars this year. For one thing they’re happening two months later than they usually do, with the Academy hoping that a) the pandemic would be under control enough for them to have a regular ceremony and b) that enough movies would actually get released to have a quality nominees list. Neither of those exactly happened as planned, but here we are.

This year’s telecast is also unusual in that Steven Soderbergh, a director who has made mainstream films (Ocean’s Eleven, Eric Brockovich, Magic Mike) and arthouse fair (The Limey, Solaris, Schizopolis) was brought in to “re-envision” the ceremony, which definitely feels more “cinematic,” and filmed in Union Station for a more casual atmosphere closer to The Golden Globes. (It’s also allowed them to go maskless while cameras are on.) Presenters are giving personal anecdotes about each of the nominees in lieu of the usual clips from the films. Questlove is providing the music for the night.

Those changes included moving the performances of this year’s Best Original Song nominees to the pre show Oscars: Into the Spotlight special. The order the winners were given out was also shuffled from the usual way it’s been done for so many years, like giving out Best Picture before the end of the night, and before Best Actor and Actress. Best Picture went to Nomadland.

Chloé Zhao became the first woman of color to win Best Director. She won for Nomadland.

Frances McDormand won Best Actress for Nomadland.

The biggest upset of the night was Anthony Hopkins winning Best Actor for The Father over the late Chadwick Bosemnan who was the odds-on favorite for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. With Hopkins not there to accept the award, which was the final one of the night, it made for an odd anticlimactic end.

Daniel Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor for Judas and the Black Messiah., while Yuh-Jung Youn won for Minari.

Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste won Best Score for Soul. H.E.R.‘s “Fight For You” from Judas and the Black Messiah won Best Original Song.

First winners of the night were for Screenplay: Best Original Screenplay went to Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman, while Best Adapted Screenplay went to Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller for The Father.

Thomas Vinterberg‘s Another Round won Best International Feature.

Soul won Best Animated Feature.

My Octopus Teacher won Best Documentary Feature.

The best moment of the night may have been when Questlove led a music trivia segment where we learned Glenn Close does indead know E.U.’s “Da Butt” but also knows how to do it.
