The 98th annual Academy Awards honoured Paul Thomas Anderson’s film One Battle After Another with six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and the inaugural award for Best Casting.

    The night’s other frontrunner, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, was no slouch, bringing home Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score, four of the 16 awards it was nominated for.

    The Best Live Action Short category ended in a tie, only the seventh time that has happened in Oscars history.

    The literary adaptation Frankenstein had a strong run in the technical categories, sweeping up awards for Best Costume, Best Production Design and Best Hair and Makeup.

Key takeaways from the 98th annual Oscars

•     After many nominations and few wins, it was writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s night, as his political thriller One Battle After Another swept six award categories, including Best Picture and Best Director.
•     But Ryan Coogler’s vampire blockbuster Sinners was close behind, earning the second biggest Oscar haul of the night, with four awards.
•     Sinners actor Michael B Jordan scored one of the biggest triumphs of all, emerging victorious in a tight race against Timothee Chalamet for the Best Actor Oscar.
•     True to the odds, Jessie Buckley of the Shakespearean drama Hamnet scored her much-anticipated first win in the Best Actress category.
•     Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, meanwhile, reigned supreme in three of the technical categories, including Best Costume, Best Production Design and Best Hairstyling and Makeup.
•     KPop Demon Hunters won both of the categories it was nominated in: Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
•     But leaving empty-handed are Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent and Bugonia, despite multiple nominations a piece.
•     The night included notable political overtones, including anti-war comments and jokes about free speech, but US President Donald Trump was only gestured at, never named.

History-making moments at tonight’s awards

    Every win at the Academy Awards is memorable, but some serve as historic milestones for representation in film and culture.

    This year, Autumn Durald Arkapaw became the first woman of colour to win the Best Cinematography award for her work on the vampire film Sinners.

    A rare tie also occurred in the best live-action short film section, with The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva sharing the award.

    This has only happened on six other occasions in the academy’s history. The last time it happened was in 2012, when Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty both won for best sound editing.

Who got snubbed at this year’s Academy Awards

    This year’s Oscars ceremony largely came down to a three-way race between One Battle After Another, Sinners and a dark horse, Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

    But some films left nearly empty-handed, and the list of snubs is long.

    The ping-pong drama Marty Supreme, for instance, was expected to be a leading contender in several categories, among them Best Actor for 30-year-old Timothee Chalamet’s ruthless portrayal.

    But Marty Supreme earned zero Oscars tonight, despite having ample odds with nine nominations.

    Likewise, the much-lauded Brazilian film The Secret Agent struck out in all four of its categories, despite a recent Golden Globe win for star Wagner Moura.

    The Shakespearean drama Hamnet did only slightly better, winning a single Oscar in the Best Actress category, despite its eight nominations total.
