LOS ANGELES — The much-anticipated Academy Awards have been announced.

An awards season like no other culminated Sunday evening with an Oscars like no other, as the 93rd Academy Awards migrated from Hollywood to Los Angeles' Union Station.

"Nomadland's" Chloé Zhao was the first woman of color to ever be nominated for best director, and she was a clear favorite to win the Academy Award, having already swept most pre-Oscar honors. "Judas and the Black Messiah" was the first-ever best-picture nominee with an all-Black producing team.

"Nomadland" was dominant in the lead-up to the Oscars, collecting most of the major awards, including Golden Globe and Critics Choice honors.

"Mank," however — the black-and-white portrait of screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz as he struggles to complete the script for the Hollywood classic "Citizen Kane" — was the top nominee going into the night, having entered the show with a leading 10 nominations.

Also up for the top prize were "The Father," "Judas and the Black Messiah," "Minari," "Promising Young Woman," "Sound of Metal" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7."

Due to COVID-19, the ceremony had a different look, originating largely from Union Station.
