Oscars 2021: Historic moments, winners, and other highlights from the 93rd Academy Awards

This year’s show was produced by Steven Soderbergh, Stacey Sher and Jesse Collins and had no host

Actress Regina King started the ceremony with an introduction and announcing winners in Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay

The long list of presenters included Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Joaquin Phoenix and Zendaya, among several others

The selection of nominees has been hailed as the most diverse ever with multiple nominations to civil rights films, persons of colour, and women

This year witnessed a record 70 women getting nominated in 76 categories

Opening the show, One Night in Miami director Regina King, dressed in a custom-made gown by Louis Vuitton, reflected on the Derek Chauvin verdict

“As a mother of a Black son I know the fear that so many live with — and no amount of fame or fortune chases that,” King said

Due to the pandemic, the Oscars 2021 Red Carpet was extended around the world

Actress Olivia Colman and Lakeith Stanfield, who was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category, posed for photos in London. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher attended a screening of the event in Sydney. And, many others were in Los Angeles dressed in couture

Among them was Reese Witherspoon in Christian Dior, Zendaya in Valentino Haute Couture, Angela Bassett in Alberta Ferretti, H.E.R. in Dundas, Andra Day in Vera Wang, Margot Robbie in Chanel and Carey Mulligan in Valentino
