Last night people from around the world gathered in front of their screens to watch 2019 Oscar’s, where cinematic excellence was celebrated alongside stellar musical performances. The event was filled with dramatic twists and turns as fan favourites took home and missed out on a number of awards.
This year’s ceremony was drama-filled before it even began, with the search for a host proving more difficult than previous years. But despite several close calls, the event came together beautifully. Some of the biggest awards for the night included Best Actor, which was awarded to Rami Malek for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. While Malek took home a massive big prize, Bohemian Rhapsody was beaten out in the race for Best Picture, which was instead awarded to Spike Lee’s cinematic masterpiece Green Book. Olivia Colman took home the prize for Best Actress for her role in The Favourite, which is the actress’s first Acadamy Award, marking a monumental moment for the star.
