Nomadland struck gold at the 2021 Oscars on Sunday as it was crowned Best Picture, while filmmaker Chloe Zhao made history as Best Director.
Chinese-born Zhao became the first woman of colour to be named Best Director, and just the second female in Academy Awards history to take home the title, 11 years after Kathryn Bigelow was feted for The Hurt Locker.
The drama also earned Frances McDormand her third Best Actress Oscar.
Meanwhile, Sir Anthony Hopkins became the oldest person to ever win an Academy Award - the 83 year old was saluted as Best Actor for The Father, which picked up a second win for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Supporting honours went to Daniel Kaluuya for Judas and the Black Messiah and Minari's Yuh-Jung Youn, while Best Original Screenplay went to Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman.
Best Original Score was awarded to Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste for Soul, which was also celebrated as Best Animated Feature, while R&B star H.E.R. emerged victorious in the Best Original Song category for Fight For You from Judas and the Black Messiah.
The 93rd Academy Awards were held at both the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and Los Angeles' Union Station.
