Would have preferred Leo over MBJ for best actor, but at least Timothee didn't win it. Most of the wins seemed justified though. Wasn't this the first year the academy was forced to watch all films in order to vote?

A number of Canadians also had a golden night.
Toronto director Maggie Kang accepted the Oscar for best animated feature for KPop Demon Hunters. She was nominated alongside fellow Canadian Domee Shi, co-director of the film Elio.
The Canadian production designers of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — Nova Scotia resident Tamara Deverell and Nova Scotia-born Shane Vieau — are coming home with their own Oscar statuettes. Canadians Jordan Samuel and Cliona Furey also shared the makeup and hairstyling win for Frankenstein.
As well, Montreal filmmakers Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski won the award for best animated short film for The Girl Who Cried Pearls.
