Tonight, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences crowned the winners of the 92nd Academy Awards, and movie fans – along with weary, sleep-deprived Rotten Tomatoes staffers – cracked open the bubbly, toasted the winners, and then bade adieu to the wild awards season of 2019/2020.
We entered the night with a number of categories feeling like solid “locks” and a handful of categories feeling more up in the air. In the end, it was Bong Joon-ho’s social satire thriller Parasite that walked away with four trophies and made Oscar history as the first South Korean film to be nominated for (and win) an Academy Award and the first non-English language film to win Best Picture, as well as the first non-English language film to win both Best Picture and Best Director. Oh, and by the way, it was also the first film to win in the newly renamed Best International Feature Film category, and it snatched the Best Original Screenplay award out from under the nose of Quentin Tarantino, who was hoping to become only the second person to win the award three times.

For the second year in a row, the Oscars went host-less, but the star wattage on stage was as huge as ever: Tom Hanks, Jane Fonda, Natalie Portman, Mahershala Ali, Keanu Reeves, and Diane Keaton were among the lineup of presenters. And the show featured performances of all five Best Original Song nominees, plus a surprise performance of “Lose Yourself” by Eminem and a rendition of the Beatles’ “Yesterday” by Billie Eilish during the In Memoriam segment.
Below, you’ll find the full list of Oscar nominees and Oscar winners for 2020. (If you’re interested in who we think got totally snubbed and should have been among the nominees, check out our Oscar snubs and surprises.)
