McDormand ended her speech with a wolf howl into the mike. The gesture was meant to be a tribute to sound mixer of the film, Michael Wolf Snyder, who committed suicide recently. He was 35. "Please watch our movie on the largest screen possible, and one day very, very soon, take everyone you know into a theatre, shoulder to shoulder in that dark space, and watch every film that's represented here tonight," she said in her speech. Oscars 2021: Minari Star Yuh-Jung Youn, Nomadland’s Chloé Zhao, Ma Rainey’s’ Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson Create History At The 93rd Academy Awards.
