A lot has happened over the last year. With the pandemic painting a grim reality, it can be difficult to find a silver lining in these dark clouds. However, one thing has not stopped throughout the ordeal and that is the recognition of people's talent, especially in the entertainment industry. Despite social distancing, the Oscars didn't fail to award those whose creative work has pushed the boundaries to make remarkable films.

Even though the pandemic forced theaters to close down and people to turn to online streaming services to get their content, the 2021 broadcast of the award show, which can be classified as a film of its own, made history. The ceremony, held two months later than usual sans the glittery red carpet and after-parties, ensured the celebrations didn't stop, especially with regards to diversity inclusion. According to The Wire, some of the historic moments from the 93rd Academy Awards including:
