HOLLYWOOD'S biggest stars gathered on Sunday for the 93rd annual Academy Awards.
The Academy Awards, or Oscars, were handed out at a ceremony, broadcasted live on ABC television.
Unlike most other award shows this past year, this was an in-person event broadcast from Los Angeles.
Almost two months later than usual, the ceremony was held at an in-person event split between the Dolby Theater in Hollywood and Union Station.
It was an unusual setup this year, where the glamorous red carpet was hemmed and the after-parties were cut.
Many of the films were released during a time when movie theaters were largely closed due the coronavirus pandemic.
Following is a list of winners in key categories:

Anthony Hopkins - "The Father"

Frances McDormand - "Nomadland"
