One Battle After Another entered the night with eight nominations and ended up winning three, but Chloé Zhao's Shakespeare movie took home the top prize.

Laura Dern, George Clooney, Regina Hall, and Delroy Lindo also had big wins, with Guillermo del Toro being named best director for Frankenstein.
