After months of mystery surrounding potential hosts, the birth (and quick death) of the "popular film" category, and a wild mix of run-of-show rumors, Hollywood's biggest night has come and gone.
The 91st Academy Awards were handed out Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, with all 24 competitive categories presented on air during a telecast that produced milestone achievements for women and people of color in the film industry.
The 2019 Oscars followed one of the most wide-open races in recent memory, as all the traditional Academy precursors — the SAG Awards (Black Panther), the PGA Awards (Green Book), the DGA Awards (Roma), and the Writers Guild Awards (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Eighth Grade) — recognized different films with their top prizes, making the Best Picture race a difficult one to predict.
In the end, it was Peter Farrelly's Green Book that took the Academy's top prize, with Best Actress winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite) pulling off a stunning upset over category frontrunner Glenn Close to notch the biggest surprise of the evening.
Elsewhere in the acting categories, Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek won Best Actor for his performance as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, Regina King triumphed for her role as an iron-willed matriarch in If Beale Street Could Talk, and Green Book's Mahershala Ali won his second Best Supporting Actor trophy with his work in the Don Shirley biopic. The trio's victories collectively marked the first time in the history of the Academy Awards that a majority of a ceremony's acting winners were people of color.
Elsewhere, Black Panther craftspeople Ruth E. Carter (Best Costume Design) and Hannah Beachler (Best Production Design) made history as the first black women to win in their respective categories (on top of earning the Marvel Cinematic Universe its first Oscar wins). Their success contributed to the Academy's most female-centric ceremony to date, with a record 15 women winning across all categories.
By the end of the evening — which saw the most black artists (seven) winning during a single Oscars telecast, including Spike Lee's first competitive victory, for Best Adapted Screenplay — Bohemian Rhapsody's four trophies stood as the highest haul of the night, followed by Green Book, Roma, and Black Panther with three wins each.
