🏆 Just hours ago, the curtain fell on the 98th AcademyAwards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. On a night eagerly anticipated by cinephiles all across the globe, the major victors lived up to the hype, taking home well-deserved honors. Here’s everything that went down:

Another sweep for Paul Thomas Anderson: Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest epic, One Battle After Another, claimed the lion’s share of the awards. The film secured six major awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, and Best Editing. Additionally, Sean Penn — who was absent from the ceremony — took home Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film.

Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley steal the spotlight: Sinners star Michael B. Jordan took home the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The film also found success in three other categories: Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.

Meanwhile, in a highly expected and incredibly deserved W, Irish star Jessie Buckley was declared Best Actress for her captivating performance in Hamnet. With this victory, Buckley completes a clean sweep of the major awards season, having already secured the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and BAFTA awards for the same role.

AND- Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein dominated the craft categories, securing three awards: Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Costume Design. Other recipients included F1 for Best Sound, Sentimental Value for Best International Feature, and Avatar: Fire and Ash for Best Visual Effects.

The night’s biggest upset came in the Best Supporting Actress category, where Amy Madigan secured a W for her role in Weapons. Madigan emerged victorious after a fierce competition against Teyana Taylor, Wunmi Mosaku, and the Sentimental Value duo Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. Meanwhile, KPop: Demon Hunters struck gold, snatching Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

The biggest loser? Chalamet. Despite high expectations, Timothée Chalamet and the team behind Marty Supreme left the ceremony empty-handed. The film failed to turn any of its nine nominations into a W. It’s worth noting that Chalamet sparked significant controversy less than two weeks before the ceremony, after mocking the ballet and opera industries during a televised interview, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of both artists and the public alike.
