The French also won several awards.
Playwright Florian Zeller and his accomplice Christopher Hampton win the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for "The Father".
The father of this film is played by Anthony Hopkins, crowned best actor for his performance.
Nicolas Becker won the prize for best sound mixing for "Sound of Metal".
Anthony Giacchino's "Colette" leaves for its part with the Oscar for best documentary short.
Behind the scenes, the 93rd Oscars ceremony was postponed by two months, moved to Union Station in Los Angeles, and was held in compliance with health standards because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The result was nicer than the Golden Globes - where it was all over video conferencing - but without the usual glamor and luxury.
The new vintage was also accompanied by a slight progress on the diversity front, while the Academy has been criticized a lot in recent years for the lack of representation of minorities, both on the side of the nominees and among the voters.
It was better this time, with the victories of Chloé Zhao as director, or that of Yuh-Jung Youn, best actress in a supporting role, for "Minari".
The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor went to Daniel Kaluuya for "Judas and the Black Messiah" by Shaka King, whose original song "Fight for you" by HER also won an Oscar.
