Each year, the American Academy of Motion Pictures nominates different actors, actresses, producers, sound engineers, directors, animators, and others for awards.

The proceedings are televised and informally called "the Oscars," which is in reference to the trophy that the winners get to take home. These coveted awards are the highest honors for anyone involved in the movie industry.

The 2019 Oscar winners were a diverse group. Many people of color won awards, and several were immigrants or first-generation Americans. Many women also won awards. The Oscars have been criticized in the past for not being diverse in their nominations and winners, so this year was a pleasant change for many. The top movies included the stories of an African American piano player and singer, an immigrant rock icon who died a tragic death and more.
