That was a bit of a long engagement wasn’t it? In most years, the Oscars are a distant memory by mid-March, but here we are approaching the end of April, and only now are we learning who the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences really think is the best.
Oscars 2021 are done, and with them we realize the strange year that was 2020 is perhaps finally in the rearview. Still, it doesn’t mean that year will leave without a few bitter surprises. Likely more than a few folks were disappointed by the shocking final moment of the night when Anthony Hopkins upset the late Chadwick Boseman in the Best Actor category. Unusually, the award was even presented as the final of the evening, and we’ve unpacked some of the implications of that here.
However, it should be said Hopkins is devastating in The Father, and there are plenty of other wins from the evening that felt downright euphoric. From Emerald Fennell earning a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Promising Young Woman to Chloé Zhao becoming the first Asian-American woman, and only second woman period, to win Best Director, it was a celebration of a new generation of voices, and the kind that have historically been ignored by the Academy. And we doubt few didn’t smile when Daniel Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor for Judas and the Black Messiah.
Below is the full and complete list of Oscar winners in 2021. Winners will be bolded and italicized.
