The full list of 2021 Oscars winners
This year’s Academy Awards ceremony was unusual due to the pandemic, but also a highly notable year for diversity.
There was glitz, glamour and a mother load of celebrities—all hallmarks of the Oscars. There were also a number of people beaming into the ceremony remotely, because this pesky damn pandemic is going on for even longer than your average overblown acceptance speech.
Taking place six years since the #OscarsSoWhite campaign arrived, the results of this year’s Oscars demonstrate that progress has been made on the diversity front.
One of the most significant wins was Chloé Zhao’s for Nomadland, Zhao becoming only the second woman to win a Best Director trophy in the event’s 93 year history. The film also won Best Picture and Best Actress.
This year there were a number of other firsts. Yuh-Jung Youn for instance became the first Korean performer to win one of the four acting categories (Best Supporting Actress, for Minari) and Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson were both the first black women to receive a nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and the first to win.
