"Wicked" costume designer Paul Tazewell is the first Black man to win an Oscar in this category. He told the press:

“This is the pinnacle of my career. I've been doing costumes for over 35 years. The whole way through there was never a Black male designer that I saw that I could follow, that I could see as inspiration. To realize that that's actually me, it became a 'Wizard of Oz' moment, there's no place like home. To come back to the inspiration being inside of me is really remarkable.”

“My grandmother came to this country in 1961. I am a proud child of immigrant parents with dreams and dignity and hard working hands.

Best international feature film is Brazil's "I'm Still Here." We're still salty that "Kneecap" didn't get a nomination, but we're sure they'll cope. Here's @RollingStone's review of the movie.

Why didn't Michelle Trachtenberg make it into the In Memoriam section? @vanityfair's Anthony Breznican explains it thus:

"There's always an outcry over the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars. Fans always find someone who was left out, and this year the outcry is over Michelle Trachtenberg, star of Harriet the Spy (1996), Ice Princess (2005) and EuroTrip (2004), among other films.

"The producers of the Oscar telecast don't compile the list of people who are recognized. That job is done by a committee, in part to spare the producers from being lobbied by the representatives, families and fans of Hollywood figures who have passed.

"The In Memoriam portion of the show also typically has a cut-off that's roughly a month before the awards ceremony. Exceptions tend to be made when a major star, like Gene Hackman, dies in the interim.

"This committee will likely consider Trachtenberg for next year, although anyone's inclusion is never guaranteed."

Adrien Brody wins his second best actor Oscar for "The Brutalist," 22 years after he won for "The Pianist." Here's his conversation with @Variety about the movie, and how he isn't a typical leading man. “I’ve had to prove that the leading man can be unusual and unique and not typically handsome,” he explains. “But oftentimes, somewhat nondescript-looking choices are easier. Safer.”
