Oscars 2021 Complete Winners List

Oscars 2021 Full Winners List

The 2021 Oscars started in style, with a long tracking shot featuring presenter Regina King—and, against all odds, in person, at L.A.’s Union Station.

And while many of the night’s victors were expected—director Chloé Zhao and her best-picture-winning Nomadland, mainly—the evening had a few surprises in store as well.

Actor Anthony Hopkins won Best Actor for his performance in The Father, surprising many in the audience who expected the late Chadwick Boseman to be given the honor. Boseman passed away in 2020 after a lengthy private battle with cancer.

Nomadland had a huge night as well after taking home Best Picture and Best Actress for Frances McDormand’s performance.
