The Oscars is the biggest night in Hollywood – and 2020’s ceremony proved a more than memorable year in the Academy Awards’ storied history. In a year celebrating new films from cinema icons including Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, astonishing filmmaking from the one-shot presentation of 1917 to Greta Gerwig's new take on Little Women, and the ‘70s throwback feel of Joker, to the breakthrough of Bong Joon Ho’s incredible South Korean thriller Parasite, it proved a fascinating year for the Academy Awards.

There were thrilling victories, long-due prizegivings, top musical performances, and speeches ranging from the rambling to the rapturous – and you can trawl through it all here. Look further down the page for the full list of winners and nominees, the red carpet arrivals, and our live blog from the night with a moment-by-moment breakdown of the show.
