Sunday, March 15, 2026 at 9:27PM In order of presentation. With Trivia notes when applicable
SUPPORTING ACTRESS - Amy Madigan, Weapons
TRIVIA: Only the second Best Supporting Actress winner from the horror genre. The first was Ruth Gordon's all time classic performance in Rosemary's Baby (1968)
ANIMATED FEATURE - KPop Demon Hunters
ANIMATED SHORT - The Girl Who Cried Pearls
COSTUME DESIGN - Frankenstein
MAKEUP AND HAIR - Frankenstein
CASTING - One Battle After Another
LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM - TIE
The Singers AND Two People Exchanging Saliva
TRIVIA: Ties are extremely rare at the Oscars. This is only the 7th instance in history. But here's the really cool stat. This makes Live Action Short the only category that's had a tie TWICE. The first was in 1994 when Trevor and Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life were both given statues.
SUPPORTING ACTOR - Sean Penn, One Battle After Another
TRIVIA: Sean Penn becomes only the 7th actor in history to win a third Oscar. The others in order of third wins: Walter Brennan (1940), Ingrid Bergman (1974), Jack Nicholson (1997), Meryl Streep (2011), Daniel Day Lewis (2012), Frances McDormand (2020)
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY - Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY - Ryan Coogler, Sinners
TRIVIA: Coogler is only the second Black person to have won this category. Interestingly enough both won for horror films. The first was Jordan Peele who won for Get Out.
~ IN MEMORIAM BREAK ~
PRODUCTION DESIGN Frankenstein
VISUAL EFFECTS Avatar Fire and Ash
TRIVIA: Avatar has become the third franchise to win a Visual effects Oscar for each of its first three installments. The others are Star Wars (1977, 1980, 1983) and The Lord of the Rings (2001, 2002, 2003). No franchise has ever won a fourth Oscar in this category so this might be the end of the line unless they really up their game for Avatar 4 or open in a year with little competition in this category.
[HALWAY MARK OF THE SHOW WAS RIGHT HERE IN TERMS OF OSCARS HANDED OUT 12 OF 24 CATEGORIES BUT THE SHOW WAS ALREADY AT THE TWO HOUR AND TEN MINUTE MARK]
DOCUMENTARY SHORT All the Empty Rooms
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE Mr Nobody Against Putin
ORIGINAL SCORE Ludwig Goransson, Sinners
TRIVIA TIMES TWO: Ludwig Goransson is now 3 for 3 in the Original Score category, having previously been nominated and won for Black Panther (2018), and Oppenheimer (2023). He's also now in an all time four way tie with Ingrid Bergman (Acting), Ingmar Bergman (International Feature), and Per Halberg (Sound) as the Swedish person to have won the most Oscars.
SOUND F1 The Movie
FILM EDITING One Battle After Another
CINEMATOGRAPHY Sinners
TRIVIA TIMES FOUR: Autumn Arkapaw became the first woman cinematographer to win the Oscar. She also became the first woman of color to win the Oscar in this category. She also became the first black person of any gender to win this category. And, finally, (whew) she became the first Filipino Cinematographer to win this category (Matthew Libatique is the only previous Filipino to be nominated in this category and he's been up for the prize three times: Black Swan, A Star is Born, and Maestro)
ORIGINAL SONG "Golden" KPop Demon Hunters
TRIVIA: The first KPop song to win this category
DIRECTOR Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
INTERNATIONAL FEATURE Sentimental Value (Norway)
TRIVIA: This is Norway's first win in the category on its 7th nomination. They began submitting in 1957 and were nominated on their first try (Nine Lives) though it was 30 years until the nominations started up again and became more regular. The country that holds the lead for most nominations without a win remains Israel (10 nominations).

Reader Comments (9)
It's just ended and I have thoughts
I totally agreed on the Supporting winners and totally disagreed on the Lead winners.
MBJ's speech was one of the best of the night
Timmy's loss was obvious they make the young pretty ones wait,he'll get one in about 10 years for a lesser role and hopefully Julianne Moore will hand it to him as she did with Leo's overdue Oscar.
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS Aunt Gladys.
This is first time 2 horror performances have won since Silence of the Lambs.
Leo looks great with the moustache.
Hottest guy of the night The Singers Director.
Best dressed ladies Demi,Gwyneth and Kate.
Best dressed men Lionel Richie and Leo.
What happened to Pascal's jacket
Did RDJ comes a sexy Dr Doom.
Nice to see Nicole and Ewan,she was very animated
That's how you do an In Memorium section,i have been saying it for years.
Sigourney's line to Kate Hudson was the funniest of the night.
I want a Bridesmaids sequel.
PTA was a well deserved winner.
That K Pop song sounds like something that comes 5th at Eurovision.
I don't think Conan as a host works at all,his jokes were flatter than my bum.
It flew by.
Why did Penn not show he did the last 2 times he won and presented Swank and Bullock the year after.
Some questionable presenters why Pattinson and Zendaya for Director when Spielberg's sat right there.
Not enough of the big stars Priyanka Jonas is not a star or a major actress.
Well done the cinematography winner though I was sad for Jack Fisk.
Random thoughts:
- Conan’s opening bit was actually the best opening in a few years. The closing skit was also great and (fortuitously?) appropriate given OBAA’s best pic win
- AMY MADIGAN!!!!!!!!! I was praying it happened but was dreading horror bias would get in the way.
- PTA finally wins!!!
- the acting clips were egregiously short (by the time the audience stopped clapping the next one was starting)
- although I was not a fan of his performance, MBJ gave the best speech of the night.
The tie was amaaazzziiingg!!! And for the two best films!!!
I thought it was great that Amy Madigan won for Best Supporting Actress considering how much we tore into her in the Supporting Actress Smackdown for her previous nomination.
Welp, I guess Timmy really is the new Leo. His was by far the best performance in that category and they gifted MBJ a win for being good for the first time since 2018.
Another stat: this is now a record for the most consecutive Best Picture winners to also win an acting award! Six years in a row!!
It was just an insult — The N word that resulted in an Oscar.
No comments.
Stupid people.
Timmy is going to win his Oscar soon.
It's a matter of talent!
MrRipley - had the same thought about Best Director presenters - horrible
Was jumping up and down for Madigan and Jordan.
Fabio - speechless and appalled at your comment
Fyi - Timmy is not talented or hot
Oh, another fun stat: The Girl Who Cried Pearls marks the seventh time that a film by the National Film Board of Canada won in the Best Animated Short category, but it was their first win since The Danish Poet won in 2006. They had eight nominations in between wins, with the first of those coming in 2007 with Madame Tutli-Putli, directed by the duo of Chris Levis and Maciek Szczerbowski, who incidentally ended the drought with The Girl Who Cried Pearls.
