While few trophies were given to Black entertainers during the 97th Academy Awards, stars like Cynthia Erivo, Doja Cat and Queen Latifah pulled out all the stops during performance segments. “Wicked” costume designer Paul Tazewell got the gold for his spectacular efforts in the musical fantasy epic, and Zoe Saldaña took home the nod for Best Supporting Actress, being the first actress of Dominican heritage to do so. Although films like “Nickel Boys” and “Sing Sing,” particularly the latter movie’s lead actor Colman Domingo, didn’t receive an Oscar, there were still stand-out moments from the ceremony on Sunday night.
