It was certainly a groundbreaking night in a number of ways ― and one well-deserved win of the evening went to Chilean film “A Fantastic Woman.”
Not only did the film, whose plot centers around a transgender actress and singer, win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, its star Daniela Vega became the first openly transgender person to ever present at the awards show.
Vega introduced Sufjan Stevens, who played his hauntingly beautiful song “Mystery of Love” from 2017′s gay romance breakout film, “Call Me By Your Name.”
While “Mystery of Love” didn’t win the Oscar for Best Original Song ― nor did “Call Me By Your Name” for Best Picture ― James Ivory became the oldest Oscar winner ever for his adapted screenplay of the novel Call Me By Your Name by author André Aciman.
“Whether straight or gay or somewhere in between, we’ve all gone through first love, I hope, mostly intact,” Ivory said during his acceptance speech.
