After a year in film that was unusual to say the least, the 93rd Academy Awards—the first Oscars since the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic—finally took place Sunday evening, with a scaled-down, in-person ceremony honoring movies released in 2020 as well as January and February of 2021. Though Mank led the pack going in with 10 nominations, Nomadland was the big winner, nabbing Best Picture, Best Actress for Frances McDormand, and Best Director for Chloé Zhao—the second woman, and first woman of color, to win in that category.
Below, you’ll find the complete list of winners. You can read all of Slate’s Oscars coverage here.

A message from Slate culture editor Forrest Wickman: In my decade at Slate, I’ve worked on everything from investigating how wearing your backpack with two straps became cooler than wearing it with one strap to adapting The Great Gatsby as a video game to inventing a highly scientific systemic for determining whether new movies are too scary for you. The support of Slate Plus members has allowed us to continue to do the kind of ambitious, irreverent, and service-y cultural coverage you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you!
