With big victories for films from Green Book to Bohemian Rhapsody, and performers fromLady Gaga to Olivia Colman, the 2019 Oscars were a night of triumphs, sprinkled with surprises. We've rounded up a list of all the champions from Hollywood's biggest night!
Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay: Green Book
The most prestigious award of the ceremony, Best Picture, may have been the most controversial.
In the words of Rolling Stone Magazine film critic Peter Travers ...
"The Academy had three chances to make history this year. Roma would have been the first foreign-language film to win Best Picture, A win for BlackKklansman would have given Spike Lee his rightful place in the Oscar time capsule ... and a win for Black Panther might indicate Oscar voters had the sense to appreciate a comic book movie that was artfully done and gave black children a chance to see themselves reflected in the Marvel universe."
Instead, Travers wrote via Instagram, Green Book was "safe" and "conventional." Do you agree with Travers' Best Picture argument?

Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography: Roma
Though Roma didn't pull out a win for Best Picture, Alfonso Cuarón did take home the Academy Award for Best Director, and the movie for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography.
“I want to thank the academy for recognizing a film centered around an indigenous woman, one of the 70 million domestic workers in the world without work rights, a character that has historically been relegated in the background in cinema,” Cuarón said during his Best Director acceptance speech. “As artists, our job is to look where others don’t.”
