The 2021 Oscar winners have been crowned, with Nomadland taking the top Best Picture prize as expected and Anthony Hopkins prevailing in a stunning upset over Chadwick Boseman in the Best Actor category.

The Oscars 2021 put on a very different kind of ceremony than years past, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with attendance restricted to nominees and their guests, a different venue (Union Station) and testing and mask requirements. 

But what didn't change was the celebration of excellent movies, including Nomadland, Minari, The Father, Judas and the Black Priest, Promising Young Woman and Soul. 

Most of them are available to watch on one of the best streaming services, and that's apt — because in a year when many movie theaters were closed, it was those services that provided a way for movie lovers to get their cinematic fix at home.

The show itself was a more intimate and personal affair, at the behest of co-producer Steven Soderbergh, who wanted to make it feel like a film itself. Reactions on social media were mixed, with many bemoaning the lack of movie clips, a sped-up In Memoriam section and the absolutely wild choice to present Best Picture before the Best Actress and Actor categories. 

The producers clearly hoped the precursors and pundits would prove correct and that Boseman would win Actor, but instead, the absent Hopkins won and the Oscars 2021 show ended on an anticlimactic note. 

Still, the 93rd Academy Awards brought about many historic moments. Chloe Zhao became only the second woman and the first woman of color to win Best Director. Yuh-jung Youn was the first Korean actress to win an acting Oscar. And Mia Neal and Jamika King were the first Black women to win the makeup and hairstyling category, for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Next year's Oscars will likely go back to the format everyone knows and some people love, but for this year, unprecedented times led to a very unprecedented Academy Awards. 

Here is everything you need to know about how to watch the 2021 Oscar winners streaming online.
