The biggest awards show of the year, the Academy Awards, honoured the best movies of 2018, and this year’s Oscars were especially messy leading up to the ceremony.
For the second time in the award show’s history, there was no defined host. The Academy was looking to hack away at the show’s runtime, which is normally a lengthy four hours in duration. This year’s ceremony moved much quicker, with no host monologue. Dozens of celebrities appeared onstage to present multiple awards.

The first big winner of the night was Regina King, who won Best Supporting Actress for her emotional work in If Beale Street Could Talk. Mahershala Ali took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in Green Book. Marvel superhero movie Black Panther won Best Costume Design — with a first-ever win for a black woman, Ruth Carter, in the category — and Best Production Design.
Rami Malek won Best Actor for his depiction of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, and Olivia Colman had a surprise win over Glenn Close for Best Actress for her work in The Favourite. Director Alfonso Cuaron won his fourth Oscar for Best Director for Roma, and Green Book won the top prize of the night: Best Picture.
