Frances McDormand has won the best actress Oscar for Nomadland at the 93rd Academy Awards, which are taking place in Los Angeles.

McDormand plays one of a group of retirees struggling to make ends meet, alongside a cast largely made up of non-professional actors. Written and directed by Chloe Zhao, the film was inspired by Jessica Bruder's non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century.
