One of the most prestigious events in the world of cinema, the Oscars, has announced its winners.
The 98th edition of the Academy Awards honored some of Hollywood’s most notable films, actors, and creative talents. Held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the ceremony saw One Battle After Another emerge as the biggest winner of the night. The film dominated the awards with a total of six trophies, including Best Picture and Best Director.
In the acting categories, Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for his performance in Sinners, while Jessie Buckley was named Best Actress for her role in Hamnet. The Best Director award went to Paul Thomas Anderson, and the evening featured several surprising results and historic moments.
The ceremony was hosted by comedian and television star Conan O’Brien. Known for his sharp humor, O’Brien drew attention with his opening monologue and jokes throughout the night. After a long career spanning numerous television projects, he once again left his mark on the Oscar stage. As discussions continue within the Academy about possible changes to the hosting format in future ceremonies, industry insiders have also suggested that this event could be among O’Brien’s final appearances as an Oscars host.
