What a night – Chloé Zhao became the first woman of color to win Best Director, Glenn Close did "Da Butt", and Questlove wore crocs. The competition was tough, and lots of the categories were too close to call, but this was undoubtedly Zhao's night. As well as winning Best Director, her movie Nomadland won Best Picture and leading lady Frances McDormand won Best Actress, too.

It was a good night for The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Minari as well, with Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Kaluuya, and Youn Yuh-Jung all winning this year's other acting awards. Promising Young Woman, Sound of Metal, and Mank also came out on top with recognition for writing, sound, and cinematography, while Ma Rainey's Black Bottom cleaned up in the costumes and makeup categories.
