Some nominees also appeared via satellite from remote locations. Attendees were vaccinated, tested and seated in a socially distanced manner to keep everyone safe. People were allowed to take their masks off when the cameras were rolling, but had to put them on during commercial breaks. Nomadland was the big winner of the evening, taking home awards in three of the biggest categories for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress (Frances McDormand). Filmmaker Chloe Zhao became the first woman of color to win the Best Director Oscar, and is only the second woman ever to win.
