SEE THE FULL 2026 OSCARS WINNERS LIST, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE
We imagine being an “Oscar winner” feels sensational and now a new group of honorees know the elation.
Conan O'Brien hosted the 98th Academy Awards at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre March 15, delivering jabs at Kid Rock and Turning Point USA before actors, filmmakers and their collaborators got their well-deserved recognition for making the movies that moved us this year.
“Sinners” entered the awards with a record-setting 16 nominations, and took home four wins including Michael B. Jordan's best actor and Ryan Coogler's best original screenplay. The movie made Oscars history when director of photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw became the first female to win for best cinematography.

"One Battle After Another" was the night's champion, taking home six trophies from 13 nominations. Among the wins were directing (Paul Thomas Anderson), supporting actor (an absent Sean Penn), the coveted best picture award, and the inaugural statuette for casting.
"Marty Supreme" tied "Frankenstein" and "Sentimental Value" with nine nominations going into Sunday's ceremony. But Timothée Chalamet and crew were shut out. "Frankenstein" won three for their efforts in creating the fantastical world: costume design, makeup and hairstyling and production design.
Best actress winner Jessie Buckley earned the only Oscar for “Hamnet,” and the massively popular "KPop Demon Hunters," perhaps predictably, walked away with honors for best animated film and original song.
Also noteworthy, the evening marked the seventh tie in Oscar’s history, which dates back to 1929. The 85th Academy Awards in 2013 is the last time two nominees split a category. “Skyfall” and “Zero Dark Thirty” both won for sound editing.
