Promising Young Woman won the Oscar on Sunday for Best Original Screenplay, becoming the first woman to win a screenwriting Oscar since 2008, when Diablo Cody won for Juno.

Diana Ossana also previously won Best Adapted Screenplay for co-writing Brokeback Mountain in 2006. Fennell was considered the favorite to take this prize, although she had some tough competition from Aaron Sorkin, who was nominated for The Trial of the Chicago 7 and previously won a screenwriting Oscar for The Social Network.

Fennell is also nominated for Best Director, making her one of only seven women to ever be up for this award in Oscars history.
