The glue holding the rite together was the announcements made by Randy Thomas, who has been the announcer for the program for the last 10 years.
The awards proprieties itself celebrated diversity and inclusivity in the breadth of winners who took home the coveted statuette.
For the first time bestows for best costuming and best production went to African American nominees. Ruth Carter took home the Oscar for subdue costuming for her work on “Black Panther,” and Hannah Beachler for production design, also for her work on the super hero coat.
Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma” won best foreign film, marking the first time a Mexican film has ever won in the area.
