Oscars 2019

Oscars 2019

The 91st Academy Awards have officially wrapped up, with some surprising results.

Winner Olivia Colman stole the spotlight with her hilarious victory speech. The British actress blitzed a field of favourites including Glenn Close and Lady Gaga to win Best Actress for The Favourite. She also edged out Melissa McCarthy and Yalitza Aparicio.

Colman was clearly stunned when she was presented with her golden statue.

“It’s genuinely quite stressful. This is hilarious … got an Oscar!” she said, grinning and fighting back tears.

“OK. I have to thank lots of people. If by the way I forget anybody, I will find you later and give you a massive snog.”

Controversial favourite Green Book also caused a surprise upset, beating frontrunners Roma and The Favourite to win Best Picture. Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born and Vice were also nominated for Best Picture.

Green Book, the story of a white chauffeur and a black musician, won three of its five Academy Award nominations this year. Aside from Best Picture, it also took home Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

Unsurprisingly, the Best Actor award went to Rami Malek for his stellar performance as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, while Alfonso Cuaron took out Best Director for Roma.

An emotional Lady Gaga won an Oscar for her smash hit Shallow from A Star Is Born.
