And that's it for another award season. The trophies have been handed out, the tuxedos are either at the dry cleaners or being destroyed and the accountants who tally the winners are headed back to much more mundane number crunching. The 2020 Oscars have happened, and the big winners were definitely Parasite and director Bong Joon-Ho, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Feature Film and Original Screenplay.
As for the acting categories, they fell right in line with what everyone had expected, especially given the dominance of Pitt, Phoenix, Dern and Zellweger in other awards. In fact, there were the usual batch of less-than-shocking wins, with just one or two surprises in smaller categories.
The show itself, once more without a host (though past emcees Steve Martin and Chris Rock showed up to crack wise and complain about being "demoted"), started out moving swiftly, though a slightly baffling performance of 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem (tied into music in the movies) slowed things down considerably. There were flubs (Diane Keaton forgetting to say, "the nominees are" and hitting the microphone stand with the envelope) and funny moments (Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Will Ferrell and Maya Rudolph & Kristen Wiig overcame the usual potted teleprompter tosh, while Rebel Wilson and James Corden leaned into the Cats backlash. And there were some pointed moments in speeches (some political, some more based in filmmaking itself, such as Ford V Ferrari being effectively the final film made by Twentieth Century Fox now that Disney owns the company).
At least Rocketman got something. So there's that. Check out the full winners list below.
