92nd Annual Academy Awards, Show, Los Angeles, USA – 09 Feb 2020

92nd Annual Academy Awards, Show, Los Angeles, USA – 09 Feb 2020 — The 2020 Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Feb. 9. For the second year in a row, the show was without a host, which meant that the focus was strictly on the awards, tributes and performances throughout the evening. This year, movies like ‘Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood,’ ‘Marriage Story, ‘1917,’ ‘Parasite,’ and many more are being recognized with nominations, and there was a ton of star-power in attendance. Throughout the evening, tons of awards were given out, and the winners took the stage to give inspiring — and sometimes emotional — speeches. The show also paid tribute to Kobe Bryant, who died two weeks before the ceremony in a helicopter crash. The other stars who we lost since the 2019 ceremony were also honored during an in-memoriam tribute. Keep clicking through the gallery to check out highlights from the 2020 Oscars.
