While most celebrities who attended the Oscars Sunday night slipped into their second look of the evening before hitting up the after-parties, Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone had something else in mind.

Five takeaways after Academy survives 'host-free' awards, and what the nominees and winners, including 'Black Panther' and 'Roma,' mean going forward

The Academy's board of governors has approved several major changes to the tradition-bound ceremony's format in the hope of retaining the dwindling number of Oscars telecast viewers it still has and luring others back into the fold ahead of the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 24, 2019.

In many Oscar bait movies, interracial friendships come with a paycheck, and follow the white character’s journey to enlightenment.

You know you need to know.

A complete list of the winners of the 91st Academy Awards.

Critics of the film say it oversimplifies race relations. Its best-picture win complicated a night when the academy honored a diverse set of winners.

The 91st Academy Awards ended not with a bang but a groan. At least that’s the sound I heard—and made, and inferred from the Twitter reactions—when America’s eternal sweetheart, Julia Roberts, tore open the final envelope and announced the big winner. It was a disheartening end to what had been, all things considered, a reasonably bearable Oscar night. Yes, Bohemian Rhapsody picked up four awards, which is embarrassing. But the ceremony itself was brisk and enjoyable—having no host didn’t hurt it one bit, nor did the absence of viral-courting comedy routines and fawning montages. Plus, a wide spectrum of films ended up winning, the Academy handing out prizes to Black Panther, Roma, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, First Man, If Beale Street Could Talk, and—in the night’s most welcome shock—Olivia Colman’s sublime tragicomic performance in The Favourite. It was all going about as well as could be expected. And then they had to go and give Best Picture to Green Book, that middlebrow road dramedy about beating racism, one zinger and bucket of KFC at a time.
