History was made in more ways than one during the 97th annual Academy Awards when Zoe Saldaña became the first Dominican American actor to win an Oscar, Gints Zilbalodis’ Flow became Latvia’s first ever Academy Award-winning movie, and Wicked’s Paul Tazewell was the first Black man to win Best Costume Design. But it was Sean Baker’s Anora that took center stage, winning five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Directing for Sean Baker, and Best Actress in a Leading Role for Mikey Madison.

Meanwhile, Adrien Brody secured the hardware for Best Actor, and to no one’s surprise, Kieran Culkin nabbed his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Check out the full list of winners below!
