Episode Details

One Battle After Another dominated the 2026 Oscars, with One Battle After Another sweeping six awards, including best picture, best director, and best supporting actor. Host Conan OBrien kicked off the night with a sharp opening monologue, roasting stars like Timothee Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos. Amy Madigan finally claimed her first Oscar for best supporting actress in Weapons, marking forty years since her initial nod, the longest gap in Academy history. Autumn Durald Arkapaw became the first woman to win best cinematographer for Sinners, and Jessie Buckley made waves as the first Irish woman to take best actress for her role in Hamlet. Michael B Jordan rounded out the acting wins with best actor for his dual roles in Sinners, becoming the sixth Black man to earn the honor. Live performances lit up the stage from Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters, which also snagged best original song and best animated feature despite cut-short speeches. The night featured a rare tie for best live action short between two films, an extended In Memoriam for losses like Rob Reiner, fun reunions from Bridesmaids presenters, and cheeky fashion from Gwyneth Paltrow. Politics crept in with calls for peace from presenters like Javier Bardem.
