It was the first time in 30 years that the 91st Academy Awards were held without a host. The evening saw the awards spread around with every Best Picture nominee earned at least one trophy, and 15 movies in all earned the 24 awards. The ceremony was held on 24th , 2019, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
In a comparatively brief show that ran just over three hours (as opposed to the four-hours-plus shows that have become standard over the past few decades), the producers didn’t often linger over speeches from the presenters or winners. The show moved along briskly, with the early winners’ mics being rapidly cut off if they weren’t brief and to the point in their acknowledgment speeches.
The evening also delivered a surprise win for ‘Green Book’, which took home the Oscar for best picture, defeating strong competition from ‘Roma,’ ‘A Star is Born’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’
