Stars are beginning to walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards, with Constance Wu from “Crazy Rich Asians” among the early arrivals. The run-up to the 91st Academy Awards has been a series of missteps and backtracks by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

  • Rami Malek picked up the award for ‘Actor In a Leading Role’ for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
    • While many expected Glenn Close to finally win the Oscar, Olivia Colman wins the award for ‘Actress In a Leading Role’ for ‘The Favourite’
    • ‘Green Book’ won ‘Best Picture’; Mahershala Ali also won the award for ‘Actor In a Supporting Role’ for his performance in the film
    • Alfonso Cuarón won the award for ‘Best Director’ for ‘Roma’; the Netflix film also won ‘Best Foreign Language Film’
    • ‘Black Panther’ made history at the Oscars by winning the Academy Award for production design and costume design

Mahershala Ali, who won the award for ‘Actor In a Supporting Role’ for his performance in Green Book, thanked his grandmother in his acceptance speech.

"I want to dedicate this to my grandmother, who has been in my ear my entire life. Telling me that if at first I don't succeed, try, try, try again. That I can do anything I put my mind to. Always, always pushing me to think positively and I know that I would not be here without her, that she's gotten me over the hump in a lot of ways," he said.
