Oscars 2026: Read highlights of the 98th Academy Awards.
The movie awards season finally came to a close Sunday night, with the 98th edition of the Academy Awards, which took place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
“One Battle After Another,” which was nominated for 13 awards, received the highest honor of the night: best picture. Paul Thomas Anderson won for best director and Sean Penn, though he wasn’t in attendance, received the best supporting actor award. The film also won in the newly added category, best casting (Cassandra Kulukundis).
With a record-breaking 16 nominations, “Sinners” took home four awards. Its writer-director Ryan Coogler won best original screenplay, and its star, Michael B. Jordan received best actor.
Conan O’Brien hosted the show with a slew of gags about the future of A.I., while a heartfelt in memoriam segment honored Rob and Michelle Reiner, Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, Catherine O’Hara and others.
