Oscars 2019 Complete Winners List (Final)

The Oscars are over at last. Tonight the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences anointed what they believed were the best films and filmmaking from year that was. The 91st Academy Awards has of course come into some controversy as of late. This will be the first year since 1989 without a host following Kevin Hart’s contentious exit (and if you want to know what disaster it can be without a host, watch this). It also follows on the heels of a number of awkward attempts to make the Oscars 2019 telecast theoretically more palatable: Best Popular Film consolation prize? Nope. Only two Best Song performances? Get outta here. Not showing four categories during the telecast, including the crucial Best Cinematography and Best Editing awards? That got abandoned too.

Still, the Oscars are here and it’s easy to let the headlines overwhelm what is a night about celebrating movies. And for all the handwringing, there is much to celebrate. Tonight marks the first time Spike Lee has been nominated for Best Director thanks to BlacKkKlansman, a movie he used to speak about the issues in our society and our cinematic culture, going back to Golden Age Hollywood. It also is a night with Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite tied for the most nominations, which is all the more remarkable as it is the rare film that puts three tour de force female performances at the center, an overdue trick that Emma Stone acknowledged to us is exceedingly rare in an industry that might not have seen something like this than 1950’s major Oscar winner, All About Eve. Then there’s the fact Black Panther is the first superhero movie ever nominated for Best Picture, and Alfonso Cuarón might be the first man to win Best Director and Best Cinematography for the same film—his nostalgic and visionary Roma. (It’s a rare opportunity we discussed with TCM’s Dave Karger and Alicia Malone.)

There is much to look forward to, and upsets to root for (or against) this Oscar night. We’ve given our predictions already, so you can click over here to see how much egg we have on our face when it’s all over. In the meantime, enjoy this live update of the winners below. Winners will be bolded.
