The 2021 Academy Awards ceremony has come to an end, with Anthony Hopkins and Frances McDormand taking out the final categories during the COVID-safe event.

It was a surprise win for Hopkins who will take home Best Actor for his portrayal of Anthony in “The Father”.

Chadwick Boseman was an icon, delivering so many incredible performances throughout his career.

This award was expected to go to Chadwick Boseman for his performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and many have taken to social media to express their frustration. Boseman passed away in August 2020.

In news that is not so surprising, Frances McDormand has won Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Fern in Nomadland.

McDormand has previously won in this category for her performances in the 1996 motion picture “Fargo” and the 2017 film “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”

Other notable winners at the awards ceremony include “Nomadland” for Best Picture and Best Director, “Soul” taking home best Animated Feature Film, and “Mank” winning Best Cinematography.

What an inspiration. During her acceptance speech Chloé Zhao recalls in Chinese a phrase that's kept her going: "People at birth are inherently good."

Zhao is the first woman of color to be named Best Director.

Chloe Zhao became just the second woman to win Best Director, and the first woman of colour, for Nomadland.
