The Oscars returned to the Dolby Theatre last night to celebrate some of our favorite films of the last year from No Time to Die to Encanto (which Amy Schumer joked she’s watched “190 times”). Hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes, the night featured some fantastic wins including Ariana DeBose’s (West Side Story)Best Supporting Actress win. Ariana is the first Afro-Latina to win an Oscar for acting! Troy Kotsur (CODA) also took home a big award (Best Supporting Actor), becoming the second deaf actor to win an Oscar for Acting. Billie Eilish also took home her first Oscar for her James Bond song “No Time to Die.”

Sci-fi hit Dune took home the most awards. The film won six Oscars including Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Visual Effects. CODA also won big, taking home Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Read on to find out who else took home that coveted trophy.
