OSCARS 2020 here’s the complete list of winners of the most coveted award in film…

February 10th, 2020 by Marc Comments

Well, despite the dropping viewing numbers and the lack of a host again, the 2020 Oscars produced some predictable results, some happy surprises and some sad losses too.

But, as always, cinema is something to be celebrated, the art, the story-telling, the talent… even if some would rather just use it as a political platform.

But, how did the evening go?

The big surprise – and welcme one – was Bong Joon Ho’s superb Parasite taking home six statuettes including Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film, Best Director and Best Picture – which was surely the surprise of the night, with the confident money being on 1917 or Joker. But most definitely a welcome surprise, which also wins the award for first non-English language movie to win the coveted award.

FTN favourite Brad Pitt won his first award for Best Supporting Actor in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood while Marriage Story’s Laura Dern won Best Supporting Actress.

Renée Zellweger won Best Actress for her portrayal of Judy Garland in Judy, and best of all, Joker himself, Joaquin Phoenix took home the Best Actor gong.

A special shoutout to Hildur Guðnadóttir who got the award for her sublimely beautiful Joker score and became, I believe, the first woman to win the award.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
