The last time each Best Picture nominee won an award was 2014 but it's not so common since something usually goes home empty-handed.

Blackkklansman has the most iconic score of the year
Spike Lee was awesome but boho has made me want to give up
I really like Black Panther but is everyone associated with that film going to get a standing ovation?
Lady Gaga is acting so bad in her acceptance speech
OMG! Shallow... I am so emotional and sooooo shocked.............. what did I just witness?
I like having non-movie people, but would be cool to have them in partnership, especially with movie people. Trevor Noah cool. Someone like A-Rod would be ee (in any capacity really).
Queen was random but nice to see something like that occasionally. Thona little too much slurpage of the movie, in context.
Did I blink and miss Carol Channing?
Shallow - best part of the night by far
John Bailey is lucky to receive polite applause, he's just as laconic and underwhelming in person as his decisions have been this past year. (I hope people went up and told him off backstage.)
Thankfully the In Memoriam segment was tasteful, although regretfully they didn't have time to include Stanley Donen.
That Spike Lee win was something, his standing ovation seemed very heartfelt.
The Green Book writers were very mediocre, making me really wish the writers of "The Favourite" had won instead.
Lol at Barbra Streisand bedazzling her old clothes.
And Richard E Grant is all of us when Barbra’s in the room.
Damn. We’re at a Best Actor already?! This show surprisingly IS going by quite fast. They’re making good time this year.
Here it comes. The worst actor winner of the past 20 years. And you just know rami will get an ovation.
He knew he was gonna win, ugh. You could tell by his face while they were presenting the clips.
What’s with the malice against Malek?
Ouch, didn't see that coming.
Well.. Now Glenn close is gonna get a honorary oscar in the next few years for sure
THE HORROR MOTHERFUCKING HORROR
I CANNOT
GLENN!
Glenn Close losing after wearing that shiny gold gown...how embarassing for her
Fuck the Oscars. Just...
I cannot believe GLENN LOST AGAIN THIS IS HORRIBLE
yay Olivia Colman!!!!
Elated for Colman, but Ali and Malek are Oscar winners and Close is not. The Oscars don't deserve her.
Oliva Colman is deserving you guys
Olivia Colman!! Sorry, guys, speaking truth to power.
@ MDA: ouch indeed. 😢 Realistically speaking this was probably Close’s last chance for an Oscar. Unless she manages to land the role of a lifetime & she knocks it out of the park, she will probably remain a 7-time nominee & zero-time winner. Sigh.
I'm dead inside.
Put Olivia Colman in witness protection bruh
Well, finally a surprise, and it’s an unpleasant one
Just like what Thorgy said:”Ugh. Jesus. Gross”
I love Colman, but winning a best actress for a supporting role....*sigh*
Glenn Close was gracious in losing something that’s pretty sure hers to lose
Ugh, the one acting category where I didn't want a surprise winner gets a surprise winner.
Don't get me wrong, Colman gave the best performance of the five, but it belonged in supporting.
As much as i love Olivia "best speech of the evening by the way.
My heart weeps for Glenn.
Olivia Colman is awesome and deserves to have won for making an actual movie instead of a vanity piece.
I absolutely love Olivia’s Oscar!!! Best speech of the night, which made up for a very disappointing ceremony awards-wise
well, the last two prizes were for nicer things
The surprise win of Olivia Colman has knocked all of us sideways.
Just want to say how gracious Olivia was to Glenn, and how Glenn Close, just kinda took it on the chin. Smiling up at Oliva and probably thinking, damn, again.
Twitter is going to go nuts. But I love Olivia Colman and am happy for her, because she was so fabulous.
Co-sign Drew. If you win for a bad movie it’s a trash win, bottom line.
Amandla Stenberg looked stunning!
This is so wrong and it represents all the mistakes the Academy made this year:
Colman is supporting and you should have won there.
The Academy lost the chance to award Glenn Close.
And that’s why we learn to not care...
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Alfonso Cuarón is a hottie.
Olivia was fantastic but yet again they worship a gimmick mimic type of performance over nuance and a more normal life character. Fuck the Oscars, done with them until they give Glenn her due.
I FUCKKIINNGGG KNEEEWWW ITTT AHHHHH
Man. What a disappointing Oscars / awards season this year. Amirite?
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Marcelo, I agree with you. After all the disappointments throughout the year, you learn to care less and less about the Oscars.
And now the white people win the Best Pic about race relations....
So, positive posts over. This was a bad year. From the 4 BR wins and Glenn’s loss to a middling BP winner to the ugliest sets of all time. One of the few bright spots was the diversity of presenters, not just ethnicity but background.
Gil C. must be so happy
I feel very bad that Green Book won. A terrific movie that is just gonna get killed for a while for this. And not because someone thinks it's good but others are great, but because people want to whine when they don't love something that happens to be simple.
Ugh.
Also, I hope I didn't hear Close's performance called a vanity piece? I certainly wouldn't assume that's what was meant.
But of course if you did then face palm for you ✌🏼
Well this was the most depressing Oscars ever.
@Bruno - Coleman was NOT a gimmick mimic type performance. WTH you talking about?
@marcelo - we going overboard with category fraud complaints here. Coleman won in lead fair and square.
