The film One Battle After Another dominated the 98th Academy Awards, winning six Oscars including the coveted best picture award at the ceremony in Los Angeles.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the dark comedy action thriller also secured awards for best director and best casting, marking a major triumph for the filmmaker after multiple previous nominations.

The film features a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti.

It received 13 nominations this year.

In the acting categories, Michael B Jordan won best actor for his role in the film Sinners, while Jessie Buckley took home the best actress award for her performance in Hamnet.

Buckley’s win made her the first Irish actress to claim the Oscar for best actress.

In her acceptance speech, she dedicated the award to “the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart.”

Meanwhile, Autumn Durald Arkapaw became the first woman to win the Oscar for best cinematography for her work on Sinners.

In another historic moment, the films The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva shared the award for best live-action short film, marking only the sixth tie in the category in the nearly century-long history of the Academy Awards.
