Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody is up for five awards at the 91st Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Rami Malek. So far, it has already won Best Sound Editing, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound Mixing awards. While the film has been an awards and audience darling, the film still has some detractors. During the Oscars telecast, viewers expressed their disappointment when other favorites (like literally the film about Queen Anne and the women jockeying for power around her, The Favourite) did not earn awards. There has also been controversy surrounding the film because its director, Bryan Singer, was fired before it was finished; new allegations of sexual misconduct also arose during awards season. Here are the most fiery Twitter reactions about Bohemian Rhapsody's dominance at the Oscars this year. This content is imported from Twitter.

Malek defeated a strong field, including Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice and Bradley Cooper as musician Jack Maine in A Star Is Born. Malek was the favourite to win, however, having previously picked up a string of awards for the role including best actor from the Baftas and Screen Actors Guild and best actor (drama) at the Golden Globes. Bohemian Rhapsody is a biopic of British rock act Queen, with a focus on its lead singer, Mercury, who died in 1991 from Aids-related illness. Prior to Bohemian Rhapsody, Malek was best known for his role in the award-winning TV series Mr Robot, in which he played hacker Elliot Alderson. Malek’s performance in Bohemian Rhapsody was described as “electric” by the Observer critic Simran Hans, and as “a feat of impersonation” by the Guardian’s Steve Rose. The film has been a significant box-office success, despite a troubled production process. Sacha Baron Cohen was originally due to play Mercury, but dropped out after disagreements with Queen’s surviving band members. Director Bryan Singer was fired during shooting and replaced by Dexter Fletcher; however Singer retains sole credit due to union regulations. Singer was subsequently accused of sexual misconduct and underage sex in a magazine article, which he denies as a “homophobic smear”. In February, Malek suggested it had been difficult working with Singer saying: “My situation with Bryan, it was not pleasant, not at all.” In his speech, Malek paid tribute to his parents, saying of his mother, who was in the auditorium “I love you, lady” and expressing the belief that his father would be “looking down on me right now”. Although he said of the film’s cast and crew “I love you, you are my equals, you are my betters”, he did not mention Singer by name. He singled out co-star Lucy Boyton, with whom he is now in a relationship, and the band Queen, saying: “I may not have been the obvious choice [to play Freddie Mercury] but I guess it worked out.” Malek also said that the acclaim and enormous audience the film had found indicated the appetite for stories about minorities. “A film about a gay man, an immigrant, who lived his life unapologetically as himself.”<doc-sep>“Bohemian Rhapsody” led the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday, taking home four awards in the actor, film editing, sound mixing, and sound editing categories. Close behind with three wins each were “Roma,” “Black Panther,” and “Green Book,” which won best picture alongside gold for original screenplay and supporting actor. In addition to a foreign language film nod, “Roma” also took home directing and cinematography Oscars for Alfonso Cuaron, while “Black Panther” surprised with wins in production design, costume design, and original score. On the acting side, Olivia Colman won for actress, upsetting a competitive field that included Yalitza Aparicio, Melissa McCarthy, Lady Gaga, and frontrunner Glenn Close. Close had previously won the Golden Globe and SAG Award for her role in “The Wife,” so all eyes were on her to see if she could pull in her first win after seven nominations. As expected, “Bohemian Rhapsody” star Rami Malek won for actor. A star-studded list of presenters also took to the stage, including chef Jose Andres, Dana Carvey, Queen Latifah, congressman John Lewis, Diego Luna, Tom Morello, Mike Myers, Trevor Noah, Amandla Stenberg, Barbra Streisand, and Serena Williams. The evening also featured musical performances by Queen and Adam Lambert, as well as Jennifer Hudson, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and Bette Midler.

For the first time in 30 years, there was no host to usher the audience from category to category. The show, instead, started with concert-like performance by Adam Lambert and the band Queen and segued into a pseudo monologue featuring Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. The evening also delivered a surprise win for "Green Book," which took home the Oscar for best picture, defeating strong competition from "Roma," "A Star is Born" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." The 91st annual Academy Awards was a night of firsts for many Oscar winners and for the categories in which they won. The glue holding the ceremony together was the announcements made by Randy Thomas, who has been the announcer for the program for the last 10 years. And a passionate musical performance from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, of "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born" provided some emotional charge. The awards ceremony itself celebrated diversity and inclusivity in the breadth of winners who took home the coveted statuette. For the first time awards for best costuming and best production went to African American nominees. Ruth Carter took home the Oscar for best costuming for her work on "Black Panther," and Hannah Beachler for production design, also for her work on the super hero film. Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" won best foreign film, marking the first time a Mexican film has ever won in the category. Spike Lee was greeted with a standing ovation as the film industry veteran took the stage to claim his first Oscar for best adapted screenplay for his work on "BlacKkKlansman." Lee has previously been nominated for best documentary feature in 1998 for "4 Little Girls" and best original screenplay in 1990 for "Do the Right Thing." He received an honorary Oscar in 2016 for his directorial accomplishments. And the winners are...<doc-sep>
In one of the most closely contested Oscars races in recent memory, there is no clear front-runner for the Best Picture Award, with Netflix’s Roma, the race-related drama Green Book, the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and period black comedy The Favourite all vying for the top honour.
