Oscar Awards 2021: Complete List of Nominees & Winners

The 93rd Academy Awards was held almost two months later than usual, at an in-person event split between the Dolby Theater in Hollwyood and Union Station on downtown Los Angeles.

Regina King, the show’s first presenter, said the maskless live event is abiding by all the same Covid-19 safety protocols that Hollywood film sets follow, including vaccinations, testing, distancing and masks when the cameras are off.

It was the first time an all-Black producing team was nominated for best picture, the first time two actors of Asian descent received a nod for best actor, and the first year that two women were nominated for best director. Chloe Zhao took home the best directing trophy, becoming the second woman to claim the title. Yuh-Jung Youn was the first Korean performer to win at the ceremony in one of the four acting categories. Youn won the best-supporting actress prize for her work in Lee Isaac Chung’s “Minari.”
