Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another was the dominant film at the 98th Academy Awards, held on Sunday, March 15, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The film, described as an ironic look at nativism and activism, took home six awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners made history going into the night as the most nominated film in Oscar history with 16 nominations, ultimately walking away with four awards. Among them was Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, whose win was far from certain.

Jordan had faced stiff competition from Timothée Chalamet, who had picked up early momentum after winning at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, before Jordan shifted the tide with an upset at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The theme of the night was first-time winners. Seven of the eight major categories went to first-time Oscar recipients, including Anderson himself, who had gone 30 years in his career without winning a single Academy Award.

Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for Hamnet, while veteran character actress Amy Madigan took home Best Supporting Actress for Weapons.

The one exception to the first-timer trend was Sean Penn, who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in One Battle After Another, making him only the fourth male actor to win three acting Oscars, joining Daniel Day-Lewis, Jack Nicholson, and Walter Brennan. Penn did not attend the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred in the Best Picture winner, left empty-handed despite his nomination for Best Actor.
