Jenna Daudpota Arts & Entertainment Editor, The Pawprint
Yesterday (February 9, 2020), ABC aired the AMPAS Awards Ceremony, commonly known as the Oscars. The almost a century-old award, this one having been the 92nd, is presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, LA. This is the second year the ceremony will take place without a host. There are 24 award categories and 2 honorary awards that were presented.
There’s one film that was nominated in almost half of the award categories: Joker. With 11 nominations, Joker only won two awards, just like Ford v Ferrari (4 nominations) and Once Upon a Time (10 nominations). Above these awards were 1917 (10 nominations, 3 wins) and Parasite (4 wins, 6 nominations). It is worth noting that Parasite was the first foreign film to win the Best Picture award. There were many other movies with multiple nominations: The Irishman (10), Jojo Rabbit (6), Little Women (6), Marriage Story (6), Bombshell (3), Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (3), The Two Popes (3), Harriet (2), Honeyland (2), Judy (2), Pain and Glory (2), and Toy Story 4 (2).
