The 2020 Oscar winners: Parasite makes history, while Joker and 1917 win big

The 92nd Academy Awards are over! Speeches have been made, golden statues were passed out and Eminem popped up out of nowhere to perform ‘Lose Yourself’. It was a whole big thing.

Here’s what happened:

• Joker, the most nominated film at the Academy Awards by far with 11 nominations, only picked up two wins - Best Original Score and Best Lead Actor.
• The Academy Awards finally got over their fear of subtitles by giving away four awards to Bong Joon-Ho’s Parasite! The dark thriller makes history by becoming the first foreign-language film in the Academy Awards’ massive 92-year history to win a Best Picture award. 
• Netflix had a massive 24 nominations, but only took home two wins for Best Documentary and Best Supporting Actress.
• 1917 won Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects (over Avengers: Endgame!).
