There was a lot of drama surrounding this year’s Oscar ceremony, but those who walked home with golden trophies in their hands probably didn’t mind it one bit. Buddy comedy Green Book won the biggest honor of the night – the coveted best picture award.

Last night’s ceremony brought a series of predictable wins, but it was anyone’s ball game in the main field. Green Book was going against several strong contenders, including Roma and A Star Is Born, but eventually emerged triumphant and scored the biggest win of the night.

In addition to winning best picture, this movie also scooped additional two awards – best original screenplay and best supporting actor (Mahershala Ali). It was also a big night for Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which was the only movie to win four awards at this year’s Oscars.

Black Panther and Roma were right behind, with three each. Alfonso Cuarón’s deeply personal black and white drama was one of the biggest winners of the night, despite the fact it didn’t win best picture. It was honored in three major categories – best director, best cinematography and best foreign film.

This year’s Oscars took place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre . It was the first ceremony in three decades to be conducted without a host, but presenters Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph managed to bring the laughs with their opening salvo.
