Another Round‘  by Danish lm director Thomas Vinterberg won the Best International Feature Film Oscar, while the Best Original Screenplay award went to Emerald Fennell’s ‘Promising Young Woman.’

Daniel Kaluuya won the Academy Award for best-supporting actor for his role in ‘Judas and the Black Messiah.’
The Best Supporting Actress Oscar went to Yuh Jung Youn for her role in ‘Minari.’ Yuh Jung Youn became the first Asian woman to win an acting Oscar since 1958.

Pixar’s ‘Soul‘ won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, while the Best Animated Short award went to ‘If Anything Happens I Love You,’ according to live ABC coverage. ‘Soul‘ was released in the US for home viewing only on the Disney+ streaming service last October, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
