In Hollywood kwamen afgelopen nacht de belangrijkste sterren bij elkaar om de hoogtepunten van het afgelopen filmjaar te vieren bij de 98ste uitreiking van de Oscars.

“One Battle After Another” kwam de avond in met de op één na meeste nominaties (dertien) en won zes Academy Awards: Beste Film, Beste Regisseur, Beste Scenario (adaptatie), Beste Mannelijke Bijrol (met Sean Penn die zijn derde Oscar won), Beste Montage en de nieuwe categorie van Beste Casting—de eerste keer in vijfentwintig jaar dat een categorie door de Academy werd toegevoegd sinds de introductie van Beste Animatiefilm in 2001.

Sean Penn is nu de zesde acteur met drie Oscars: twee als Beste Acteur en nu dus in de categorie Beste Mannelijke Bijrol, waarmee hij op dezelfde hoogte komt als Ingrid Bergman, Meryl Streep en Jack Nicholson. Walter Brennan won eind jaren dertig ook drie Oscars, steeds voor de Beste Mannelijke Bijrol. Daniel Day-Lewis en Frances McDermond wonnen er ook drie, maar zij staan in de hiërarchie een trapje hoger omdat ze telkens wonnen als Beste Acteur/Actrice. Katharine Hepburn is de enige actrice die vier Oscars heeft gewonnen, ook steeds als Beste Actrice.

Penn was niet aanwezig bij de Academy Awards; hij heeft een ambivalente relatie met de Oscars en zei ooit dat hij zijn twee Oscars die hij eerder had gewonnen misschien beter kon laten smelten om er kogels van te maken voor het Oekraiense leger.

“Sinners” had de meeste nominaties van alle films ooit met zestien stuks, waarmee het record voor de meeste Oscarnominaties werd verbroken dat eerder werd gevestigd door “All About Eve” (1950), “Titanic” (1997) en “La La Land” (2016) met veertien nominaties elk.

“Gone With the Wind” (1939) had er dertien, zoals ook “From Here to Eternity” (1953), “Mary Poppins” (1964), “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966), “Forrest Gump” (1994), “Shakespeare in Love” (1998), “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings” (2001), “Chicago” (2002), “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008), “The Shape of Water” (2017), “Émilia Perez” (2024), en dus “One Battle After Another” (2025).

“Sinners” won vier Oscars, waaronder voor Beste Acteur en Beste Camerawerk van Autumn Durald Arkapaw; zij werd de eerste vrouw ooit om voor de fotografie van een film een Oscar te winnen.

Sinds 2002 worden de Oscars gehouden in het Dolby Theatre in Hollywood (oorspronkelijk het Kodak Theatre totdat Kodak in 2012 failliet werd verklaard). Eerdere edities vonden plaats in o.m. het Grauman’s Chinese Theatre op Hollywood Boulevard (1944–46), het Marquis Theater (1948), en het Los Angeles County Music Center (1969).

Hier onderaan de lijst van alle genomineerden en de winnaars van de 98ste Oscars; de winnaars staan in het vet vermeld.
