And just like that, the countdown to the 98th Academy Awards has been and gone. After months of red carpets, surprise wins and endlessly debated contenders, we\u2019re sizing up the season so far. From One Battle After Another<\/em> to Hamnet<\/em> and Sinners<\/em> \u2013 see who\u2019s dominated the winners\u2019 circle.<\/strong>

It\u2019s that time again. Rallying your friends around the laptop or TV, nestling yourselves comfortably into the plush of a couch or armchair \u2013 or perching on the very edge of it \u2013 maybe you chose to go at it solo, but \u2018tis the occasion for the Oscars. Every year, this star-studded night in March bubbles with buzz, bewilderment, and blithe \u2013 and this one has been no different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Awards season beats to the rhythm of its own drum \u2013 and at best, it\u2019s marvellously unpredictable. One minute the critics\u2019 circles are mutely, albeit tacitly, announcing their picks in December, the next it\u2019s champagne-soaked afterparties and acceptance speeches ricocheting across group chats before the applause fades. But somewhere along the way, a pattern begins to form; a film starts sweeping the circuit, a performance is reposted, reshared and repeated on social channels, making it irrefutably impossible to ignore, and suddenly, the 98th Academy Awards takes centre stage.<\/p>\n

This year, a handful of names have steadily risen above the noise. One Battle After Another <\/em>emerged as a prestige frontrunner, picking up major prizes across the circuit. It was the biggest winner of the night, taking home six awards, including Best Picture, and its director, Paul Thomas Anderson responsible for three of them, with the award for Best Directing firmly in clutch. Ryan Coogler\u2019s Sinners<\/em> surged as its biggest challenger with industry guild support and a formidable nominations haul of 16 \u2013 with a \u2018last-minute\u2019 Best Actor win from Michael B. Jordan at the SAG Awards in February boosting his chances of taking away the Oscar for Best Actor, which he succeeded in doing, rising triumphantly to the cause against fellow nominees, which boasted Leonardo DiCaprio and Wagner Moura. Irish starlet Jessie Buckley came out on top as the<\/em> Mother of Mother\u2019s Day, having stacked up the acting wins over the last few months for her performance in Chlo\u00e9 Zhao\u2019s adaptation of Hamnet<\/em>. Going from strength to strength, praise to praise, she, naturally, came away with the Best Actress award \u2013 the first Irish actress to achieve so. That\u2019s a St Paddy\u2019s win if I ever did see one. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it was a night to feel \u201cGolden\u201d as the masterminds behind KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> claimed one of the earliest wins of the night. It proved that they\u2019re more than just a catchy, chart-topping tune with their Best Animation and Best Original Song wins \u2013 though, frankly, there was no competition. And, in what was anticipated to be as such, a win for the Kiwis with Frankenstein\u2019s<\/em> Kate Hawley<\/a> taking away the Oscar for Best Costume. Another spotlight moment was the Live Action Short Film category that was spoilt for choice with two winners \u2013 the seventh time to happen in Oscar history, and the second time of the night for someone to throw shade at Timmy Tim\u2019s recent opera and ballet remarks. Though the latter continued fervently throughout\u2026at least Kylie looked cute!<\/p>\n

To further add to the charm and cheer of the night, Wonderland\u2019s<\/em> Spring \u201826 cover star and Balenciaga boy Hudson Williams<\/a> was already promising more \u201csex\u201d ahead of Heated Rivalry<\/em>\u2019s second season, before he\u2019d even made it through the glossy doors of Los Angeles\u2019 Dolby Theatre. Then, there was the playful volley of words between Anna Wintour and Emily \u2013 sorry, Anne Hathaway \u2013 served with just enough shade to keep things interesting, which the internet (obviously) ran with. Another wink of validation from Vogue\u2019s queen bee before the much-anticipated summer release of Devil Wears Prada 2. Mostly, though, it felt like a love letter, as these things often do: actors lavishing affection on one another in full ballgown-and-face-beat splendour (Amelia Dimoldenberg and McKenna Grace, we see you). And for the Barbs \u2013 as in Miss Barbra Streisand \u2013 we were treated to a little sing-song in tribute to the late Robert Redford, before the cast of Bridesmaids<\/em> reunited with a short wit-full bit to present the Oscar for Best Score.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of Hollywood\u2019s biggest night, five hours (depending on when you got stuck in) of shock, surprise and major star factor, here\u2019s a look at the winners of the 98th Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
