The awards took place between the Dolby Theater and the Los Angeles Union Station with multiple stars joining in internationally through satellite. What made these Academy Awards memorable are the major milestones. This includes Chloé Zhao, who became the second woman ever to win the award for best director and the first woman of color to win it. Another milestone includes Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson becoming the first black-led hair stylists and makeup artists to win an Oscar.
