The 93rd Academy Awards went down Sunday night from Union Station and The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. 

The unconventional ceremony went off without a hitch (or technical glitch) and featured several big moments from Black Hollywood’s elite. In a year plagued by racial unrest, the 2021 Oscars recognized a lot of Black nominees and highlighted impactful projects and powerful performances. 

Andra Day was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her turn as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday. Viola Davis was up for an award in the same category for her portrayal of Ma Rainey in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The late Chadwick Boseman was up for Best Actor for his role in the Netflix film. 

Leslie Odom Jr. was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for playing Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami, as well as Best Original Song for the film’s track “Speak Now.”
