Gerwig’s Louisa May Alcott adaptation “Little Women” won for Jacqueline Durran’s costume design. The car racing throwback “Ford v Ferrari” was also honored for its craft, winning both editing and sound editing. “1917,” acclaimed for its technical virtuosity, took awards for Roger Deakins’ cinematography, visual effects and sound mixing. “We need to hear your voices.”Īwards were spread around to all of the best-picture nominees, with the lone exception being Martin Scorsese’s 10-time nominee “The Irishman.” “To the girls, to the women, to the mothers, to the daughters who hear the music opening within, please speak up,” said Gudnadottir. “Joker” composer Hildur Gudnadottir became only the third woman to ever win best original score. “We are the original storytellers,” Waititi said. He dedicated the award to “all the indigenous kids in the world who want to do art, dance and write stories.” In winning best adapted screenplay for his Nazi satire “Jojo Rabbit,” the New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi became the first indigenous director ever to win an Oscar. Martin also reminded that something was missing from this year’s directing nominees. “An incredible demotion,” Martin called it. Two former Oscar hosts, Chris Rock and Steve Martin, provided the opening monologue. “I’m so proud to be standing here as a black queer artist telling stories,” Monae said. The hostless ceremony opened on a note of inclusion, with Janelle Monae performing “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and her own song, “Come Alive,” with an assist from Billy Porter. All of the song nominees performed, including Elton John who won with his longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin for their “Rocketman” tune. Some performances, like Eminem’s performance of “Lose Yourself,” were unexpected (and drew a wane response from Martin Scorsese). Natalie Portman wore a cape lined with the names of female filmmakers who weren’t nominated for best director, including Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”), Greta Gerwig (“Little Women”) and Mati Diop (“Atlantics”).Ĭoming on a rare rainy day in Los Angeles, the ceremony was soggy and song-heavy. Most of the early awards went according to forecasts, including Dern winning for her performance as a divorce attorney in Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story.” Accepting her first Oscar, Dern thanked her in-attendance parents, “my legends, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern.”įor the 87th time, no women were nominated for best director this year, a subject that was woven into the entire ceremony - and even into some attendees’ clothing. “Once upon a time in Hollywood,” said Pitt. Pitt said the honor had given him reason to reflect on his fairy-tale journey in the film industry, going back to when he moved to Los Angeles from Missouri. Unexpectedly called up again for best director, Bong saluted his fellow nominees, particularly Martin Scorsese, and concluded: “Now I’m ready to drink until tomorrow.” “I am ready to drink tonight,” said Bong to roars from the crowd. A standing ovation greeted Bong’s win for international film.
