Yesterday’s 98th Academy Awards show was a mix of expectations and added showcase recognitions. But the vibe was like amateur night at the local college where nothing was rehearsed (and which I didn’t mind).
“One Battle After Another” claimed the night’s top honor, winning the Oscar for Best Picture, while the film’s director, Paul Thomas Anderson, earned the award for Best Director.
Jessie Buckley received the Best Actress Oscar for “Hamnet” and Michael B. Jordan took Best Actor for “Sinners” which also took several awards as expected.
Sean Penn won Best Supporting Role for “One Battle after Another” but the surprise was for the Supporting Role Oscar which went to Amy Madigan in “Weapons.”
