Best Picture went to Green Book, which also earned Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali (a stage alum who won his first Oscar for Tarell Alvin McCraney's Moonlight) and Best Original Screenplay. The Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody ultimately led the pack with four wins, including Best Actor for Rami Malek.
