While not all the big winners are legally streaming in India just yet, such as Minari (Best Supporting Actress – Youn Yuh-jung), The Father (Best Actor Anthony Hopkins, Best Adapted Screenplay) and Promising Young Woman (Best Original Screenplay), thankfully the rest are.

The big winner of the night isn't out in India yet but it will be in a few days. Director Chloé Zhao's film stars Frances McDormand as a woman who, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad. The beauty of the terrain contrasts with the harshness of life on the road, where a punctured tyre in a remote location can mean death. The film, adapted from the meticulously reported book with the same name by Jessica Bruder, asks us to reconsider our notions of comfort and home.

Martin (the inimitable Mads Mikkelsen), a high-school history teacher, is in a fatal funk. His marriage is on autopilot, his students are drifting, even his kids think he's dull and uptight. While most males his age pursue extramarital thrills to feel alive, Martin instead embarks on something of a social experiment with three colleagues. The men decide to test a scientific theory that propagates a precise blood-alcohol content (BAC) level of 0.05 to feel more "relaxed and creative". They drink just enough at work, at home, in the day, before 8 pm, to maintain this level.
