Oscar wins include ‘1917,’ Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger and ‘Parasite’ as Best Picture Māori director Taika Waititi received the coveted golden Oscar Sunday evening at the 92nd Academy Awards, which took place in Los Angeles on February 9th and aired on ABC. Waititi was awarded the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for his film "Jojo Rabbit." He was competing against four other strong nominated films including "The Irishman," "Joker," "Little Women" and “The Two

Popes.”

During his acceptance speech, Waititi thanked his mother for introducing him to the book adapted to the screenplay for “Jojo Rabbit,” then he dedicated the Oscar to Indigenous youth. "This is really great and I dedicate this to all the Indigenous kids in the world who want to do art and dance and write stories. We are the original storytellers and we can make it here, as well, thank you” said Waititi before stepping off stage amidst gracious

applause.

In addition to receiving the Oscar, Waititi also served as a presenter at the awards and acknowledged this year's Governor’s Award’s recipients, to include Cherokee actor Wes Studi, who was honored with an Oscar for his lifetime body of work in the film industry in 2019.

Waititi also gave a land acknowledgment to the original Native peoples

of California.

"Tonight we have gathered on the ancestral lands of the Tongva, the Tataviam, and the Chumash. We acknowledge them as the first peoples of this land on which the motion picture community lives and works,” said Waititi. “And now it is my honor this past year’s recipients at the Governor’s Awards, at that ceremony, honorary Oscars were presented to actor Wes Studi, and directors David Lynch and Lina

Wertmüller.”

Waititi's "Jojo Rabbit" was nominated for six Academy Awards. (See related: Six Oscar nominations for ‘Jojo Rabbit’ including

Other big wins for the evening included “1917” which received three Oscars for Best Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Sound Mixing, and Joaquin Phoenix for Actor in a Leading Role in “Joker” and Renée Zellweger for Actress in a Leading Role in “Judy.” During Phoenix's acceptance speech, he also recognized Indigenous rights as well as a call for social action. "I think whether we’re talking about gender inequality or racism or queer rights or Indigenous rights or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice; against the belief that one nation, one race, one gender or one species has the right to dominate, control, and use and exploit another with impunity," he said. “Parasite” directed by Bong Joon Ho, was the big winner for the evening and received Oscars for Writing (Original Screenplay), Best International Feature Film, Directing and Best Picture. The win for Best Picture was historic for The Academy Awards and for “Parasite,” as it is the first foreign-language film in history to win an Oscar for Best Picture. The complete list of nominations and winners are below. The winners
