Nomadland Wins Oscar Best Picture, Daniel Kaluuya, Jon Baptiste Among Winners

Written By Wilson Morales

The 93rd Academy Awards took place last night on ABC with Fox Searchlight’s Nomadland taking home Best Picture, Best Director for Chloe Zhao, Best Actress for Frances McDormand. For Zhao, she becomes the second woman and the first woman of color to win the award in the directing category. For McDormand, this is her third Best Actress award, putting her in a rare group of actors who have won three or more.

Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor award for his performance in The Father, beating out the favorite Chadwick Boseman. This was his second time he’s won for Best Actor, having won in 1992 for Silence of the Lambs. He was not in attendance, but paid tribute to Boseman from his home in Wales. Youn Yuh-jung won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Minari. Daniel Kaluuya continued his streak of wins by winning the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah. The singer and songwriting team of the film (D’Mile, H.E.R., and Tiara Thomas) took home the Oscar for Best Song (Fight For You).
