The 98th Academy Awards kicked off Sunday at the Dolby Theatre, celebrating the best in cinema from the past year. Comedian Conan O’Brien returned to host the ceremony for the second consecutive year.

At the 2026 Academy Awards, One Battle After Another emerged as the biggest winner of the night, taking home six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson. Sinners was another major winner, with Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor while the film also picked up awards for Original Screenplay, Original Score and Cinematography. Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for Hamnet, while Sean Penn took home Best Supporting Actor for One Battle After Another and Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for Weapons.

KPop Demon Hunters continued its awards-season sweep, taking home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. The Netflix film, now the platform’s most-watched movie ever, triumphed over Arco, Elio, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain and Zootopia 2 to clinch the top prize in the category.

Autumn Durald Arkapaw won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography at the 2026 Academy Awards for her work on the horror-action film Sinners. With the win, Arkapaw made history as the first woman and the first Black cinematographer to receive the honour in the category.
