Oscars 2020: Big Winners

From Joaquin Phoenix to 'Parasite,' a look at the big winners from Oscars 2020. 

This year's Academy Awards was filled with surprises.

“Parasite” took Hollywood’s top prize on Sunday night -- best picture -- which made it the first non-English language film to do so. The South Korean film also won Oscars for best director, best international film and best screenplay.

While the acting award winners went as expected, with Brad Pitt, Renée Zellweger, Joaquin Phoenix, and Laura Dern winning statues.

But the ceremony also had its fair share awkward moments, like when Eminem surprised everyone with a performance of 2002 best song winner "Lose Yourself," to Billie Eilish's reaction to Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig attempt at singing, to Josh Gad throwing shade at John Travolta.

Check out the seven most cringeworthy moments from the 2020 Oscars.
