hello, and welcome to this bbc news special programme — as we bring you all the reaction to the 93rd academy awards. i'mjane hill, and i have much to talk about with my guests, after a historic night at the oscars. the film criticjason solomons is with me, as we discuss the winners and losers, the standout moments and surprises. and no oscars show would be complete without taking a look at fashion — the hits and misses on the socially distanced red carpet. the british designer maria grachvogel will be talking

us through this year's red carpet looks. here are the headlines from the night. hello! copy? nomadland won a hat trick, including the top prize, and a third best actress award for its star frances mcdormand. and the oscar goes to chloe zhao. the film's director chloe zhao made history — she is the first woman of colour, and only the second ever woman, to take the directing prize. i have always found goodness in the people i've met, everywhere i went in the world. so this is for anyone who had the faith and the courage to hold on to the goodness in themselves and to hold on the goodness in each other, no matter how difficult it is to do that.

who are you? it is me, paul. i live here _ in a strong night for british talent, sir anthony hopkins is the oldest male acting winner ever — for his performance as a man living with dementia in the father. here i am in my homeland in wales. and at 83 years of age, i did not expect to get this award. i really didn't. and very grateful to the academy and thank you. you can't murder liberation. and londoner daniel kaluuya took the best supporting actor statuette for playing fred hampton injudas and the black messiah. yuh—jung youn became the first korean actor to win an oscar, forthe drama minari, set in arkansas in the 80s. i give thanks to my two boys who made me go out and work. laughter. so, beloved sons.

this is the result, because mummy worked so hard! we'll discuss the winners in a moment with jason solomons, first let's recap the winners in the main categories: nomadland — a drama about van dwellers in the american midwest — won best picture. its director chlo zhao is the first woman of colour to take home the directing prize. and the film's star frances mcdormand picked up her third oscar for best actress. some had expected the late chadwick boseman to win best actor for ma rainey s black bottom, on the night the statuette went to britain's sir anthony hopkins for playing a man living with dementia in the father. at 83, he is the oldest winner of that category.

in the supporting acting categories, there was a win for britain's daniel kaluuya, playing the black panther fred hampton injudas and the black messiah. and yuh—jung youn became the first korean actor to win an oscar, picking up the best supporting actress award for her role as tge grandmother in the family drama minari. nomadland's chloe zhao is the second woman ever, after kathryn bigelow, to be named best director. that's 93 years, can you believe it? let's hear some of her acceptance speech, where she shared some memories of a childhood game. when i was growing up in china and my dad and i used to play this game. we would memorise classic chinese poems and texts and we would recite it together and try to finish each other�*s sentences and there is one that i remember, so dearly.

it's called the three character classics. and the first phrase goes... she recites. "people at birth are inherently good." and those six letters had such a great impact on me when i was a kid. and i still truly believe that today. even though sometimes it may seem like the opposite is true, but i have always found goodness in the people i've met, everywhere i went in the world. so, this, is for anyone who had the faith and the courage to hold on to the goodness in themselves. and to hold onto the goodness in each other. no matter how difficult it is to do that. so, jason, let s talk through the stand out moments of the night.

it was expected, i think, it is brilliantly well deserved, i know you and i differ on nomadland but let's start by explaining what it's about. �* , ., let's start by explaining what it's about. i ., ., about. it's not out in the uk until this week, _ about. it's not out in the uk until this week, i _ about. it's not out in the uk until this week, i think _ about. it's not out in the uk until this week, i think they _ about. it's not out in the uk until this week, i think they knew - about. it's not out in the uk until| this week, i think they knew what was coming, to be honest, i think people knew it was going to do this all the way back last september when it arrived at the venice film festival. this film about the nomads of america, a film that defines a social sort of movement in a way. these fan dwellers. who are destitute, they go out in their vans, seek a life on the road, very american situation, it's got something aboutjohn steinbeck in it, that sort of looking for an economy where you can, it's a beautiful film, beautifully captured and i think director chloe zhao has pioneered this new technique, half of it is a documentary, half of that

working as a narrative, you feel like you're watching a documentary and for meat that is the most realised aspect of it, i did not know about this and that is what the film has brought to light. you have the performance of frances mcdormand, the real professional actress amongst a lot of nonprofessional actors and that makes her doing a lot of acting, she is doing a lot of acting in this film! �* ~' is doing a lot of acting in this film! �* ~ ., ,., is doing a lot of acting in this film! �* ~ ., ., , ., film! but i think it also shows what a sensitive and _ film! but i think it also shows what a sensitive and intelligent - film! but i think it also shows what a sensitive and intelligent actressl a sensitive and intelligent actress she is because if you watch this and you don't realise some of the participants are not professional actors, i don't think it shows in many scenes and i think it's remarkable how she is so sensitive to their way of living and the choices they have made. i to their way of living and the choices they have made. i found it a sliuhtl choices they have made. i found it a slightly patronising _ choices they have made. i found it a slightly patronising performance, i slightly patronising performance, but don't get me wrong, i think she is a brilliant actress, in this she is a brilliant actress, in this she is a brilliant actress, in this she is a busy body, knocking on your door, if you are camping you would be no, really? my concern is, the oscars were underwhelming, that

film, but it is beautiful, but i preferred about six other films in that best picture category but that said, chloe zhao is a brilliant director and i'm intrigued to see what she does next when she goes into the mainstream. she's done a marvel film next. really excited to see, great talent, really lovely. fantastic, only the second woman, i cannot say that often enough. please do, the cannot say that often enough. please do. they should _ cannot say that often enough. please do, they should be _ cannot say that often enough. please do, they should be many _ cannot say that often enough. please do, they should be many more! - frances mcdormand picked up her third best actress award for nomadland. let's hear what she had to say. i have no words, my voice is in my sword. we know the sword is our work. and i like work! she chuckles. thank you for knowing that. and thanks for this. frances mcdormand, i think of my

band of cloud and rain sinks south, cloud turning the sunshine hazy across northern england and northern ireland, you may see the odd spot of rain from that but for the rest of england and wales, it's dry with sunny skies. cooler along the north sea coastline, with an onshore breeze, temperatures roughly seven to 16 degrees. this evening and overnight this low pressure sinks south with these fronts taking cloud and rain with it. doesn't quite get into the far south or south—east of england, here we will have clear skies and temperatures in rural areas will fall away low enough for some pros but we shouldn't have any issues with frost elsewhere, temperatures widely between five and 8 degrees. tomorrow we still have the centre of the low pressure across us with all the showers, rotating around it, it will be slow moving, and also looking at some of the showers being heavy and thundery. dry weather in the far south—east, the north west, in between the showers, we should see something brighter coming our way. quite brisk winds, especially in the

east and across the north west, that will take the edge off the temperatures which at best will be from eight to 16 degrees. as we move further into the week, wednesday, the low pressure continues to drift southwards and clears into the near continent so the focus of the showers on wednesday will be across wales, and south—west england. for the rest of us, it will be cool, largely dry and there will be some sunny spells and as we go into the last few days at the working week, a lot of dry weather, but feeling a bit on the nippy side.
