After being postponed for two months due to the ongoing pandemic, Oscars 2021 finally commenced today, recognising the best films of 2020 and early 2021. The 93rd annual ceremony looked different this year and marked a milestone for diversity on first-time winners and nominees. 

Beijing-born Chloé Zhao became the first Asian and second woman ever to win the Best Director award for Nomadland; the movie also took the award for Best Picture and won Frances McDormand her award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. The award ceremony also saw Youn Yuh-jung, the first Korean and only the second Asian actress to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 2020 drama film Minari. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom hair stylists Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson took home the Best Makeup and Hairstyling award (together with makeup artist Sergio Lopez-Rivera), making them the first-ever Black stylists to win in the category. 

This year's other notable nominations is the nomination of Riz Ahmed, the first Muslim actor to be nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for the movie Sound of Metal, as well as Steven Yeun, the first Asian-American actor nominated in the same category for his role in Minari. Seasoned actor Anthony Hopkins took home the Best Actor in a Leading award for The Father, marking his second best actor victory (his first win was in 1994 for his role as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs) and the oldest-ever acting Oscar winner. 

Hong Kong film Better Days, nominated for Best International Feature Film – the third Hong Kong film ever to be nominated for the award – didn’t get to take home the statue as Denmark's Another Round wins the category.
