92nd Academy Award Winners
February 13, 2020
Sunday was the 92nd Academy Awards. History was made, Eminem dropped in, acceptance speeches became political, and the show tried to compensate for no host. There were many performances by artists such as Elton John and Cynthia Erivo. The show ran rather smoothly despite being classified as the most boring awards show by people living in this generation. Here are the winners of the coveted trophy.

History was made as Parasite became the first foreign language film to win Best Picture. And it finally got the recognition it deserved as it won several awards that night. 1917 was favored to win but it only recieved Best Cinematography (which it definitely deserved to get and I’d be mad if it didn’t) and Best Visual Effects. The winners of every acting award were expected but they gave wonderful speeches. It seemed like every single film won some kind of award except The Irishman. Whether it was the sheer rage over Martin Scorcese’s comments about Marvel movies or the complaints about the movie’s runtime, the film took home absolutely no awards. However, Martin Scorcesse got a very meaningful shout-out from Bong Joon-Ho as did the rest of the legendary directors that night.
