Even though Billie Eilish’s stirring performance at the 2020 Academy Awards earlier this month, was highly praised by her fans, the singer does not think she did a good job.

While Oscars 2020 featured a number of eyebrow raising and jaw-dropping moments, the 92nd Academy Awards ended up hitting an all-time low in the rating department. The Academy made history this year by giving away four of its most prestigious awards to a non-English-language film Parasite.

The U.S. television audience for the 2020 Oscars fell to an all-time low for a ceremony that brought big wins for South Korean satire Parasite but was criticized by reviewers as long and haphazard.

Pretty perfect! The stars stepped out for the 92nd annual Academy Awards on Sunday, February 9, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and the show did not disappoint. There were some spectacular wins, but none more so than the epic fashion that graced the red carpet (see every stellar look here!) and of course, our favorite part: the glam! 

Film's biggest night is once again upon us, with films like Parasite, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Joker, and more competing for some of the night's biggest prizes at the 2020 Academy Awards. Brad Pitt, Parasite writer-director Bong Joon-Ho, and Marriage Story's Laura Dern picked up Oscars, with Parasite becoming the first foreign-language Best Picture winner ever. See the entire list of nominees and winners below.

Oscars 2020 did not recognise actor Luke Perry in its In Memoriam tribute which included various artists who passed away over the last year, leaving a treasure of legacy behind them. Among those honoured in the segment was NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, who died in a tragic helicopter crash in January alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.

The Oscars 2020 made a whole lot of noise in India on Monday morning as the best in the entertainment business were awarded. From Hollywood's A-listers to filmmakers and talent from all over, the Oscars this year did not disappoint despite majorly snubbing women directors.

It is safe to say now that Parasite absolutely owned the 92nd Academy Awards and the team deserves all the appreciation in the world for their historic win. Celebrating the success of the South Korean film, Jonas share a note of appreciation on Instagram.

Wow! Seconds ago, the Oscar for Best Picture was handed out, and with that, history was made, as the 92nd Academy Awards came to a close in spectacular fashion! For the first time, the Academy gave a foreign language film their top honor, as Parasite took Picture in an historic upset (one that yours truly predicted). Moments before that, Bong Joon Ho pulled off a Best Director shocker, too, making it quite the evening for Parasite.

The Oscars are almost upon us, but there's still some time to study up on the year's best films and performances before Hollywood's biggest night begins. Sure, there were many gasp-worthy snubs to be found in the 2020 Oscar nominations list, but even if we're still not over some of those oversights, now is as good a time as any to try and figure out what all the fuss is about when it comes to those films, stars, and behind-the-lens talent which did make the cut for the 92nd Academy Awards.

It's Oscars Sunday, which means it's time for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to celebrate a plethora of films, including 1917, Little Women, The Irishman, Joker, and Parasite. The 92nd Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 9, and the night is sure to be filled with glitz, glamour, and, of course, a few more upsets.
