This year brought barrier-breaking wins.
Hollywood's biggest night -- the Academy Awards -- has come to a close.
"Nomadland" took home the coveted best picture award while Anthony Hopkins and Frances McDormand won best actor and actress in a leading role.
Hopkins' victory was an upset over Chadwick Boseman, who died in August after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. Boseman was nominated for best actor for his role in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
This year brought barrier-breaking wins, including the first woman of color to win best director and the first Black women to win best makeup and hairstyling.
