Oscars: ‘Nomadland’ Wins Best Picture, Actress & Director; Anthony Hopkins Takes Best Actor: Complete Winners List

The 93rd annual Academy Awards were handed out tonight, and in a departure from Oscar history, the Best Picture category was not saved for last. Instead, Searchlight’s Nomadland went home with the night’s marquee prize, and its star Frances McDormand took Best Actress, hours after the film’s Chloé Zhao made history as the first woman of color to win Best Director.

Anthony Hopkins won Best Actor for The Father in something of an upset over the late Chadwick Boseman of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Nomadland was the only three-time winner at the ceremony, with The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Mank, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Sound of Metal and Soul as the other multiple winners.

On the studio side, Netflix more than doubled up on the competition with seven wins — two each for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Mank, along with trophies for three short films. Searchlight (Nomadland) and Warner Bros’ (Judas and the Black Messiah and Tenet) were next with three apiece, and the other studios with multiple wins were Amazon (Sound of Metal), Disney (Soul) and Sony Pictures Classics (The Father).
