The 94th Annual Academy Awards were presented on Sunday, March 27, during a ceremony that took place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California, and was hosted by Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall, and Amy Schumer. So who took home the gold? Scroll down for the complete list of winners in all 23 categories, updated throughout the night.
The Netflix western “The Power of the Dog” entered these awards with a leading 12 nominations, which is also the most nominations any Netflix film has ever received. But was it destined to become the first film from a streaming distributor to take top honors? To achieve that the film had to battle against Apple’s “CODA,” which only had three nominations but won crucial awards from the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild, and Producers Guild, the last of which uses the same kind of ranked-choice voting as the Oscars. Nevertheless, “Power of the Dog” was honored by the Critics Choice, Directors Guild, and BAFTA Awards, so it was a close race to the very end.
More controversial than who would win Best Picture, though, was the academy’s decision to shorten the ceremony by relegating eight awards to a pre-taped segment before the show: Best Animated Short, Best Documentary Short, Best Film Editing, Best Live Action Short, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, and Best Sound. That decision prompted criticism from several of this year’s nominated filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Jane Campion, and Denis Villeneuve.
So these awards were guaranteed to be interesting, one way or another. Follow along below for all the winners.
