2021 Oscar Winners

The drama Nomadland was the big winner at the 93rd Academy Awards, earning three Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director for Chloé Zhao, and Best Actress for Frances McDormand. Six other features took home two trophies each at the ceremony held Sunday night at Union Station in Los Angeles, including the jazz-themed films Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (which won Best Costume Design for Ann Roth as well as Best Makeup and Hairstyling for Sergio Lopez-Rivera, Mia Neal, and Jamika Wilson) and Soul (which won Best Animated Feature as well as Best Original Score for Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste). 

The Oscar for Best Original Song went to D’Mile, H.E.R., and Tiara Thomas for “Fight for You” from Judas and the Black Messiah. The broadcast also included trailers for the upcoming film adaptations of West Side Story and In the Heights, but the best musical moment of the evening came from eight-time nominee Glenn Close, who was the third and final contestant in Lil Rel Howery’s Oscar trivia game, when she not only correctly identified the School Daze soundtrack song “Da Butt” but also performed its dance (which you can watch below).
