In the Best Picture category, the film bested competitors 1917, Little Women, Jojo Rabbit, The Irishman, Ford v Ferrari, Marriage Story, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Joker. The latter led the pack heading into the night, with 11 nominations.

Sam Mendes World War I film was perhaps better positioned to come out on top, having picked up key precursor prizes over awards season at the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. The drama, however, fared better in the technical categories, scoring a total of three wins by the end of the night.

None of the cast members from either 1917 or Parasite were nominated in the major acting categories, which is historically a bad omen for Best Picture chances at the ceremony. Instead, a quartet of performers repeated wins in the acting races with Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), Rene Zellweger (Judy), Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Laura Dern (Marriage Story) delivering acceptance speeches on the awards show stage for the umpteenth time.

Not that were complaining, as an emotional Pitt moved the crowd by dedicating the award to his six children , while Phoenix remembered his late brother River in a speech about injustice.

The ceremony proceeded without a host for the second year in a row, with Janelle Monae opening the festivities with a musical extravaganza addressing the awards shows lack of racial and gender diversity.

Then Steve Martin and Chris Rock appeared on stage at the top of the show to further deride the Academys failure to recognize actors of color and female filmmakers.

And while the evening certainly wasnt hurting from star power from the nominees, presenters like Timothe Chalamet, Natalie Portman, Keanu Reeves, Diane Keaton, Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig were on hand just to make sure you didnt change the channel over the three-and-a-half-hour show.
