Joker lost out on Best Picture to Bong Joon Ho's Parasite at the Academy Awards, but, as expected, Joaquin Phoenix took home Best Actor for his incredible lead performance as Arthur Fleck in the Todd Philips-directed DC film. In addition, Hildur Guðnadóttir was recognized for her beautiful and haunting score.

Phoenix gave an emotional speech, once again using his platform to bring up environmental and social issues. He encouraged people to support one another, and not "cancel each other out for past mistakes." He finished up with a quote from his late brother, River.

Along with its historic Best Picture win, Parasite was awarded Best International Feature Film and Original Screenplay, and Bong Joon Ho won Best Director. Brad Pitt won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, while Renée Zellweger claimed Best Actress for Judy.

Many hoped to see Avengers: Endgame win for Best Visual Effects, but Sam Mendes' 1917 also nabbed that one. Pixar's Toy Story 4 won Best Animated Feature.

@Nerdman3000 - Didn't win best picture. But the fact that it won the golden lion and got more nominations than any other movie, is a bigger win in my book

@ShellHead - So glad it won Best Picture, it was the best film I've seen. I still need to see Uncut Gems, but Parasite was miles better than every other film nominated.
