The 98th Academy Awards kept fans on the edge of their seats as two critically acclaimed thriller films competed for the most awards of the night.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, the competition ended up being a dramatic back-and-forth between “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another.”
“Sinners” earned a record 16 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, when the nominations were announced in late January.
But director Ryan Coogler’s otherworldly take on the Jim Crow South had Paul Thomas Anderson’s unforgiving political image hot on its heels throughout awards season, as it took best picture at both the Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards, as well as industry honors for the Directors and Producers Guilds.
In the end, “One Battle” emerged victorious, racking up six trophies, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director, while “Sinners” took home four.
The vampire film’s star, Michael B. Jordan, took the Best Actor award for his double performance as the Smokestack twins, eclipsing Timothée Chalamet of “Marty Supreme,” “One Battle” star Leonardo DiCaprio, Wagner Moura of Brazil’s “The Secret Agent” and Ethan Hawke of “Blue Moon.”

Best Actress went to “Hamnet’s” Jessie Buckley, whose win for Shakespeare’s family tragedy seemed all but guaranteed after she virtually swept the category during nearly every other awards ceremony this season. With her Oscar, she is now the first Irishwoman to win the female lead role.
Guillermo del Toro’s gothic literary adaptation “Frankenstein” dominated the technical categories, with its creative teams taking Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Production Design.
Other memorable moments included a tie for Best Live Action Short Film, the first prize for Best Ensemble, and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw making history as the first woman to win an Oscar for her craft.
