The 92nd annual Academy Awards, or Oscars, took place last Sunday night and featured surprising wins, historic moments and rap.

2019 saw an amazing year in film with gems like “Jojo Rabbit”, “Knives Out” and “Parasite”. Hollywood’s biggest and brightest filled the Dolby Theatre to celebrate these amazing films and hopefully win the industry’s most coveted award. The hostless show kicked off with an energetic number from Janelle Monae, and then the star-studded night was underway.

The first award of the night went to Brad Pitt for Best Supporting Actor, a win that surprised no one who’s been following this awards season. The “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” actor has been winning that award all season.

Other anticipated wins went to Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor, Renée Zellweger for Best Actress, and Laura Dern for Best Supporting Actress.

However, the true stars of the night were the “Parasite” team.

“Parasite” swept the ceremony taking home, Best Screenplay, Best Director and the top award of the night — Best Picture. Making history as the first non-English language film to win the award.

Director Bong Joon Ho thanked fellow director, Martin Scorsese, for being his inspiration and said he would celebrate the night by drinking a lot.

Producers of “Parasite” also thanked the Academy for the historic win and shared their respect towards the Academy for voting for their film.

There were some comedic standout performances of the night from Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig.

James Corden and Rebel Wilson presented the award for Best Visual Effects in cats costume. A fitting decision to make a joke about their roles in the critically panned film, “Cats”.

There were also a few musical surprises throughout the night, most notably from Eminem who took the stage to perform “Lose Yourself” from the movie “8 Mile”.

Overall this year was a very different Oscars, and it showed their attempts to be a more relevant ceremony in the eyes of the youth. As well as show their ability to truly celebrate film regardless of its origin and the 1-inch subtitles.
