Overall, I'm very pleased with the winners. This is real, tangible progress of a more inclusive Academy, especially with 'below the line' nominations - Which were all aired.
ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk
Really no surprise here, but nice to see.
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
Free Solo
Another no brainer, though I wondered if "Hale Country This Morning, This Evening" might sneak in.
MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING
Vice
The party for Annapurna ended right here.
COSTUME DESIGN
Black Panther
PRODUCTION DESIGN
Black Panther
The MCU's first Oscars, courtesy of Ruth E. Carter and Hannah Beacher. Black women!
CINEMATOGRAPHY
Roma
FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM
Roma
FILM EDITING
Bohemian Rhapsody
What? Or maybe they meant editing out Singer's involvement on their press tour.
ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Mahershala Ali, Green Book
With both of his two Oscar noms ending up in wins in their respective Seasons, let's hope he can get a role that's not Reverse Driving Ms. Daisy.
ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
The only correct Answer, but we know how averse The Academy is to right answers.
ANIMATED SHORT FILM
Bao
DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT
Period. End of Sentence.
This is on Netflix, a short watch of only about 25 minutes. Check it out!

VISUAL EFFECTS
First Man
This is .... fair to me, I think. I can see how The Academy went with this over Infinity War, Solo (Been there, done that), and Ready Player One ("It's ONLY a video game!")

ORIGINAL SCORE
Black Panther
ORIGINAL SONG
"Shallow," A Star Is Born
ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
We all really thought Miss Glenn was getting that Lifetime Achievement win.
BEST PICTURE
Green Book
The Academy still has a good portion of members being old white men who think racism must be over since they can't call someone a negro anymore, so this is disappointing but not surprising.
I haven't met anyone who wasn't A) Older than 40 or B) White who liked this.
