'Green Book' wins Best Picture at the 2019 Oscars
And the night's big winner is ... Green Book.
SEE ALSO:Oscars 2019: The full winners listThe Peter Farrelly-directed drama took home Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards, after taking Best Supporting Actor (for Mahershala Ali) and Best Original Screenplay (for Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie, and Farrelly) earlier in the night.
Green Bookhad also been nominated for Best Actor (for Viggo Mortensen) and Best Film Editing, but lost out to Bohemian Rhapsodyin both categories.
The film follows a white chauffeur (Mortensen) hired to drive a black pianist, Don Shirley (Ali), on his tour through the Midwest and Deep South. It is based on the real experiences of Vallelonga's father, Tony "Lip" Vallelonga, who was the driver.
Though it’s earned some strong positive buzz throughout its release and awards campaign, Green Bookhas also been criticized for its over-simplistic portrayal of race relations. The Shirley family, which was not consulted for the movie, has also criticized the film as inaccurate.
Still, those controversies haven’t impeded Green Book’s journey through awards season. In addition to the three Oscars it won tonight, the movie has also won three Golden Globes, a BAFTA, and a SAG Award.
