Another Academy Awards is in the books. One Battle After Another was this year’s big winner, taking home six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Supporting Actor for Sean Penn, plus Best Editing, and it took home the first-ever Best Casting Award.
Sinners, which set a new record for most nominations at 16, took home four, including Best Original Screenplay for writer-director Ryan Coogler, Best Actor for Michael B Jordan, Best Score for Ludvig Göransson, and Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw (the first woman and first Black person to win that award).
Kpop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Golden.”
Not all Best Song nominees were performed at Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony, but you can watch “Golden” from Kpop Demon Hunters and “I Lied to You” from Sinners below.
Elsewhere, Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for Hamnet and Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for Weapons. Sentimental Value won Best Foreign Language Film and Mr Nobody Against Putin won Best Documentary Feature.
Interesting stat: Veteran songwriter Diane Warren, who was nominated for Best Song for “Dear Me” from the documentary Diane Warren: Relentless, now holds the record for most Oscar nominations without a win at 17. She’ll probably get another chance next year.
Conan O’Brien was host for a second year in a row and opened the telecast with a parody of Weapons that incorporated footage from the Best Picture nominees, and closed the night with a One Battle After Another parody. Matt Berry was this year’s announcer, and had a funny bit with Conan.
