At an Oscars ceremony that will most likely be forever defined by the slap heard ’round the world, the winners themselves may seem comparatively predictable. CODA, the dark horse Sundance favorite that was nominated for just three awards, rode a late-breaking wave of support to walk away from the Oscars with a full three wins, including best picture. Jessica Chastain triumphed in an especially surprising best-actress race, winning out for her warm and winning performance as the title character in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. And after three acting nominations, Will Smith finally became a best-actor winner for playing another real-life character, Richard Williams, in King Richard—though his Oscar victory came after that contentious encounter with Oscar presenter Chris Rock, who was slapped onstage by Smith after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
There were other highlights to the ceremony too, from the rousing performance of “We Don‘t Talk About Bruno” to Wanda Sykes promising a “gay gay gay gay” night to Troy Kotsur’s moving speech accepting his best supporting actor trophy. And the joys of the red carpet were seemingly endless, from Timothee Chalamet’s head-turning blazer-only look to the arrival of two Anitas, Oscar winners Rita Moreno and Ariana Debose.
Look below for a complete list of Oscar winners, from shorts to best picture.
