The Oscars
Perhaps the biggest surprise at this year’s Oscars
was the fact that Netflix began the ceremony with 24 nominations and
hardly won anything. Netflix had more nominations than any other
production studio and yet they only won two awards, Best Documentary for
American Factory and Laura Dern picked up Best Supporting Actress.
Another big surprise was the South Korean film Parasite, directed by
Bong Joon-ho, walking away with a number of major awards, including Best
Picture, Best Screenplay, Best International Feature Film, and Best
Director.
While modestly accepting his award, Bong used his time on stage to
praise his fellow director nominees, including Martin Scorsese, who
received a standing ovation during Bong’s speech. How’s he planning on
celebrating his historic win?
“I’m ready to drink tonight,” he joked.
Brad Pitt, Taika Waititi, Renée Zellweger, and Laura Dern continued
their season of award winnings, taking home respective prizes for Best
Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best
Supporting Actress.
1917 and Ford v Ferrari both took home multiple awards for achieving
excellence in technical categories like Best Editing and Best Sound
Mixing. Elton John won the prize for Best Original Song for his work on
Rocketman.
Joker, which earned the most nominations for any individual movie, only
won two awards: Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and Best Original Score
for Hildur Guonadóttir.
