Oscars 2020

“Parasite” shocked with Best Picture win… while Renee Zellweger, Joaquin Phoenix, Laura Dern, and Brad Pitt got awards in acting categories at Academy Awards.

Renee Zellweger and Joaquin Phoenix earned Best Actress and Actor, respectively, as they along with Best Supporting Actress and Actor winners, Brad Pitt and Laura Dern, completed their award season sweep.

The four talented thespians won the same categories at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards earlier this year.

Screen star Brad’s prize marked his first-ever acting Oscar as he previously earned Best Picture as a producer for 12 Years A Slave back in 2013

Toy Story 4 won Best Animated Feature, Best Animated Short Film was won by Matthew Cherry’s Hair Love
