2021 Oscars Winners – Full List
The delayed 93rd Oscars took place on Sunday 25th April 2021 in a ceremony attended by nominees on location in Los Angeles, as well as via satellite from a number of venues across the world including London’s British Film Institute. The toned down affair, attended by only essential guests and directed by Steven Soderbergh, was presented much more like an evening talk show as opposed to a traditional Oscars ceremony, a number of Oscars traditions tossed to the side including the replacement of the annual live orchestra with a DJ, guest presenters acting in place of a traditional host and a complete absence of musical performances.
Among the standout winners of the night were Chloé Zhao and her film Nomadland which earned Best Director and Best Picture, as well as being the film for which the Frances McDormand earned her third Best Actress Oscar. Those who were a part of the late surge in the gambling market for The Father star Anthony Hopkins in the Best Actor category were proven correct, the Welshman earning the award above early favourite Chadwick Boseman, who was nominated for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
The 2021 ceremony was low on spectacle and high on speeches, with each winner being allotted an unusually long amount of time to accept their awards. Among the most memorable were Yuh-Jung Youn, whose acceptance speech for Supporting Actress was as memorable as her speech at the 2021 BAFTAs, and that of Tyler Perry who was one of the first recipients of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the other being The Motion Picture Film & Television Fund.
