‘One Battle After Another’ named Best Picture; Jessie Buckley and Michael B. Jordan take home acting awards

It was One Battle After Another’s night. Paul Thomas Anderson’s action-thriller took home six Oscars at the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Directing and Best Picture.

The film also won awards for Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as the first-ever Oscar for Best Casting. Upon accepting his award, Anderson — who had previously been nominated for an Oscar 14 times — joked, “You make a guy work hard for one of these, I really appreciate it.”

Sinners also had a big night, bringing home four Oscars, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan’s role as twins Smoke and Stack. In his acceptance speech, Jordan thanked the Black actors “who came before me.” Sinners cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw made history as the first-ever female winner for Best Cinematography.

Frankenstein took home three Oscar statuettes, while KPop Demon Hunters nabbed two, including an Oscar for Best Original Song. Two films — Two People Exchanging Saliva and The Singers — tied for Best Live Action Short Film.

A portion of the show was dedicated to the many actors, writers and filmmakers who died in 2025. Billy Crystal led a moving tribute to Rob Reiner, the longtime actor and director who was stabbed to death with his wife, Michelle Reiner, in December.
