LOS ANGELES – The Latest on the Oscars (all times local):
8:15 p.m.
“Nomadland” has wandered straight into the Academy Award for best picture.
It’s an unprecedented triumph in the awards show’s most prestigious category for a film with a woman as both director and lead.
In a radical departure from previous decades, the best picture Oscar was not the last handed out. Best actress and best actor have yet to be awarded.

LOS ANGELES – The Latest on the Oscars (all times local):
8:15 p.m.
Frances McDormand has won the Oscar for best actress, and “Nomadland” triumphed in three of the top categories, including best picture and best director.
It’s the second Oscar for McDormand, who also won best actress in 2018 for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” That Oscar was stolen at the post-show Governors Ball, though it was recovered before the night was over.
