Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered Sunday night to celebrate the year’s standout achievements in film at the 98th Academy Awards.

“One Battle After Another” came into the night with the second most nominations (thirteen), and took home six Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (with Sean Penn winning his third Oscar), Best Editing, and the newly created Best Casting—the first new category at the Academy Awards in twenty-five years, and the first competitive category added by the Academy since Best Animated Feature was introduced in 2001.

Sean Penn is now the sixth actor to win three Oscars: two as Best Actor and one as Best Supporting Actor, like Ingrid Bergman, Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson also did. Walter Brennan won three in the late 1930s, all for Best Supporting Actor. Daniel Day-Lewis and Frances McDermond also won three Oscars, but their wins were all as Best Actor/Actress. Katharine Hepburn is the only performer to win four Oscars, all as Best Actress.

Sean Penn was not present at the Academy Awards; he has an ambivalent relationship with the Oscars, and once publicly mentioned the idea of melting down the two Oscars he won previously to make bullets for the Ukrainian war effort.

“Sinners” had the most nominations of any movie ever with sixteen, breaking the record for the most Oscar nominations, which was previously held by “All About Eve” (1950), “Titanic” (1997) and “La La Land” (2016) with fourteen nominations each.

“Gone With the Wind” (1939), still considered to be one of the most successful films ever made, had a total of thirteen nominations. Other films with thirteen nominations are “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), and “One Battle After Another” (2025).

“Sinners” won four Oscars, including for Best Actor and Best Cinematography, with Autumn Durald Arkapaw becoming the first woman to win that award.

Since 2002, the Academy Awards have been held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood (called the Kodak Theatre prior to Kodak’s filing for bankruptcy in 2012). Previous venues for the ceremony have included Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard (1944–46), the Marquis Theater (1948), and the Los Angeles County Music Center (1969).
