The 2019 Oscars took place in the Dolby Theatre on February 24, for the first time in years without a host.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite” and Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma” were tied for the most nominations. They had ten nominations including Best Picture and Best Director.
Other Greek nominees tonight included Alexandre Desplat for Best Original Score on “Isle of Dogs”, Mary Zophres for Best Costume Design on “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”, Yorgos Mavropsaridis for Best Film Editing on “The Favourite”, and Michael Paleodimos’ short “Black Sheep” for Best Documentary Short.
Though none of them took home prizes, 2019 was an almost unprecedented year for Greek nominees at the Academy Awards. Tina Fey also took the stage tonight as one of the first presenters, along with Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph.
The Oscars were broadcast live on ABC, starting at 5 PM. “The Favourite” did manage to snag one award, and a major one at that. Olivia Colman won the award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Queen Anne in the movie.
