B次元官网网址淧arasiteB次元官网网址� won the best picture Oscar Sunday night, becoming the first foreign-language film to take home the biggest honour in film.

Bong Joon HoB次元官网网址檚 class satire has been one of the seasonB次元官网网址檚 darlings, despite failing to garner any Academy Award nominations for its cast.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt won his first acting Oscar and Laura Dern collected best supporting actress at the 92nd Academy Awards.

BongB次元官网网址檚 South Korean class satire took three big awards: best director, best original screenplay and best international film. All were the first Oscars for a Korean film. Bong and co-writer Han Jin Won became the first Asian writers to take the screenplay prize.

As it has for much of awards season, B次元官网网址淧arasiteB次元官网网址� appeared the favourite in the room. A standing ovation greeted BongB次元官网网址檚 win for international film.

Few categories were more certain coming into SundayB次元官网网址檚 Oscars than best supporting actor, which Pitt has had locked down all awards season. While Pitt (who in 2014 shared in the best picture win for B次元官网网址�12 Years a Slave,B次元官网网址� as was a producer) has regaled audiences with one-liners in the run-up to the Oscars, he began his comments on a political note.

B次元官网网址淭hey told me I have 45 seconds to speak, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week,B次元官网网址� said Pitt, alluding to the impeachment hearings. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it.B次元官网网址�

For the 87th time, no women were nominated for best director this year, a subject that was woven into the entire ceremony B次元官网网址� and even into some attendeesB次元官网网址� clothing. Natalie Portman wore a cape lined with the names of female filmmakers who werenB次元官网网址檛 nominated for best director, including Lulu Wang (B次元官网网址淭he FarewellB次元官网网址�), Greta Gerwig (B次元官网网址淟ittle WomenB次元官网网址�) and Mati Diop (B次元官网网址淎tlanticsB次元官网网址�).

Coming on a rare rainy day in Los Angeles, the ceremony was soggy and song-heavy. Some performances, like EminemB次元官网网址檚 performance of B次元官网网址淟ose Yourself,B次元官网网址� were unexpected (and drew a wane response from Martin Scorsese). All of the song nominees performed, including Elton John who won with his longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin for their B次元官网网址淩ocketmanB次元官网网址� tune.

The hostless ceremony opened on a note of inclusion, with Janelle Monae performing B次元官网网址淎 Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodB次元官网网址� and her own song, B次元官网网址淐ome Alive,B次元官网网址� with an assist from Billy Porter.
