Directed by Peter Farrelly, Green Book is about Dr. Don Shirley (portrayed by Mahershala Ali), a pianist who recruits Tony 'Lip' Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) as his driver and security for a 1962 tour in the South.
Ali also took home the award for Best Supporting Actor; this marks his second Academy Award following 2017's 'Moonlight' win.
