One Battle After Another was the big winner at this year’s Academy Awards, winning the Oscar for best picture and five other awards.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners had led the pack this year with a record-breaking 16 nominations, winning in four categories.

Sinners star Michael B. Jordan won best actor, his first win on his first nomination, getting a standing ovation from the audience.

Jessie Buckley won for performance as William Shakespeare’s wife in Hamnet, after having dominated the 2026 award season, winning a Golden Globe, Critics Choice, Actor and BAFTA Film awards.

Amy Madigan won for best actress in a supporting role, for her performance in the movie Weapons, while the supporting actor Oscar went to Sean Penn for One Battle After Another — his third Academy Award.

A number of Canadians also had a golden night.

Toronto director Maggie Kang accepted the Oscar for best animated feature for KPop Demon Hunters. She was nominated alongside fellow Canadian Domee Shi, co-director of the film Elio.

The Canadian production designers of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein — Nova Scotia resident Tamara Deverell and Nova Scotia-born Shane Vieau — are coming home with their own Oscar statuettes. Canadians Jordan Samuel and Cliona Furey also shared the makeup and hairstyling win for Frankenstein.

As well, Montreal filmmakers Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski won the award for best animated short film for The Girl Who Cried Pearls.

Aside from best picture and best supporting actor wins, One Battle After Another earned Paul Thomas Anderson his first-ever wins for best adapted screenplay and directing. The film also claimed the awards for editing and casting — the first new Academy Award category in 24 years.

Sinners collected four awards, including Ryan Coogler’s win for best original screenplay and Autumn Durald Arkapaw’s win for best cinematography, marking the first time a racialized woman has won the award.

Frankenstein, which was filmed in Toronto, also won three awards.
